PREFACE. 



Dear Friends : 

The following- page 3 have been selected somewhat 
at random, however we. think that if you will read 
them carefully, that you will find something therein 
of special interest to yon* 

It has been said that "variety is the spice of life," 
if so, we will certainly interest and benefit you all 
through the pages of this book, for we have discussed 
a great variety of subjects, however we look at every- 
thing from the Phrenological standpoint. 

We believe our position to be the correct one and 
we are perfectly willing and really take a pride in 
living in accordance with our teachings. 

Hoping and believing that the persual of the fol- 
lowing pages will be of great benefit to you and ask- 
ing you if such be the case, that you will aid us on 
w r ith the good work, by a word of praise at even- op- 
portunity, we are truly your friend in science. 

Lilla D. Windsor.

Wealth and Wealth Laws. 

DELIVERED BEFORE THE ETHICAL SOCIETY OF WASH- 
INGTON, D. C, ON DECEMBER l6, 1 894. 

Mr. President and friends : 

«jg|»EALTH and its Laws are mysterious. How 
^gpfe many there are who wreck there lives y 
and how few who preserve them to their allotted 
age as nature has decreed they should do. But 
there is one question which always amuses me, 
get in any company you may and begin talking 
Health, speak of Mr. A. or Airs. B., (who are 
well-known health reformers,) being sick, and 
instantly some one of your party will ask "why 
don't they take their own medicine ?" "Practice 
what they preach ?" Now I shall answer this 
question by asking a few others. Why does the 
Physican get sick ? And even die sometimes as 
we all know ? Why, he cures the sick and saves 
the dying, still he gets sick, and yet the question 



14 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

is never asked (or rarely so,) why he does not 
take his own medicine. Sometimes I don't blame 
him if he doesn't, for it is to bad to take. Next, 
why does the Lawyer ever become entangled in 
the Courts ? He it is, who clears other people, 
why not steer clear himself? And then, why does 
not the beloved and honored Minister always go 
to Heaven, instead of sometimes going to the gal- 
lows ? Now, if yon can't answer these questions, 
I will, and all at once, simply because there are 
exceptions to all general rules, and because 
there is an end to all things. The Health Re- 
former, The Physician, The Lawyer, The Min- 
ister are human and are liable to err. 

So is it wise not to study Health Laws just be- 
cause those who do, get sick sometimes ? Did it 
ever occur to you, that had your Health Reformer 
friend been less informed, that death might 
have occured instead of only a slight illness ? 
Knowledge always gives power, it saves life, it 
conquers difficulties, and the mantle of Health 
Knowledge to you is worth more than gold, rubies 



FEOM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 5 

or diamonds, for Health is the greatest of all jewels. 

It is often said we do not appreciate health 
until we lose it — such is not the case; if we study 
and understand the health laws, for then we are 
Interested and become more appreciative because 
we do understand. 

It is the ignorant who must loose a blessing 
before they can appreciate it. We have tem- 
porary illness which serves as a warning. The 
temporary invalid is not happy in his fate, and 
i:he temporary illness suggests the possibility of 
•cronic invalidism. Therefore I say, 'tis a stupid 
person indeed who would have to lose his health 
before he appreciated it. 

Health being the greatest of jewels, we should 
know how to attain and preserve it, and at the 
urgent request of many of my friends to give 
them my ideas, I will endeavor at the present 
time to give a few suggestions. I will not go 
l>ack to the beginning of life, which I am always 
v^ont to do, but will begin at birth, which is the 
child's known life to the majority of people. 



1 6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

From birth to death then we will study. Pre- 
suming that we have a good organization to be- 
gin with w r e must learn how to best perfect and 
beautify this being, "the human form divine. " 

Those who are interested in this early develop- 
ment, in order to perfect their children, should 
read my published work entitled "The Maiden, 
Wife and Motherhood," and especially read the 
chapters on "The Care of the Infant," and 
"Beautify Thyself." Presuming that my friends 
have all read the aforesaid book, or will soon, I 
will not use time in reiterating its teachings. 

Of course it is expected of every boy or girl, man. 
or woman, that they want, first of all, a perfect 
organization physically. When this is attained 
the rest of the program is easy, but if you are for- 
fortunate enough to have developed a perfect phy- 
sical nature ignorantly, don't think that you can't 
lose it by the same means, for you can and will, if 
you are not careful. Therefore there must be con- 
siderable time and thought given to physical cul- 
ture, if you would perfect the Health nature. 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 7 

There are laws governing Health jnst as there 
are laws governing all else in nature. It is 
natural to be well and healthy, and unnatural to 
be unhealthy. Did it ever occur to you that it is 
really a disgrace to be sick? Such is the fact; 
"however loth we are to accept it, and when we 
fully realize that sickness is disgraceful, we will 
bestir ourselves to prevent its occurrance. 

The mind, has far more to do with sickness 
than we imagine, in fact, the mind, to a great ex- 
tent, controls the physical. When the mind has 
its full sway and happiness reigns supreme, we 
are not suprised to find health in that organiza- 
tion, in fact happiness and health are inseparable. 

The important fact here to remember is, the 
necessity of cultivating a happy, cheerful nature. 
It is hard sometimes to open the windows of the 
inner man and let in the rays of geniality, bright- 
ness, light and life, but life should be made up, not 
of joys and sorrows, but of unalloyed happiness. 

But we have so much to contend with, our fore- 
fathers have all taken the shadow side of life, 



1 8 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

instead of the enlightened and illumined path- 
way, so we have to answer for the sins of the 
past, and the best way we can do this is to look 
up, never down. Oh how hard this rule is to- 
follow, especially at first, but the more we prac- 
tice it the easier it becomes. A genial, happy 
disposition, does more to insure Health than any 
other one thing. 

A few home hints might be appropriate ; eat: 
wholesome food, plenty of fruit and considerable 
variety, eat but little meat, in fact we should not 
eat any meat, only that for generations our an- 
cestors have eaten it until we have become by 
nature of that evil habit, an animal eating race, 
therefore we believe that a little meat, at times, 
is advantageous, but the main diet should be 
vegetable. As a race, we eat entirely too much, 
any way ; eat less and work more, would be a. 
good Health prescription for a great many people. 

Another great cause of sickness is the lack of" 
ventilation in the home. Raise your windows, 
my friend, and let the gentle breeze penetrate 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. I()< 

your apartments. Raise the shades and let the 
sunlight pour in, even if it does fade your brus- 
sells. Let in the sunlight, for it is nature's 
greatest purifier. Sunlight, air and water are 
ever free, and we should enjoy them to the ut- 
most. The bedroom especially should be aired 
thoroughly every day, bed linen kept pure and 
clean, always remembering that cleanliness of 
person and surroundings are great preventives 
of disease. 

It is far easier to prevent disease than to cure^. 
once let the nature begin to go down and it is 
hard to step back over the line, but we must re- 
member that there is , a line, on the declining 
health road over which if we step we cannot re- 
turn, and when we near this spot, to refrain 
from passing over this dividing line between, we 
may say health and death, often takes great 
courage and strength, mentally and physically, 
and when we, through knowledge, rob death of 
a victim and step back to life and Health instead, 
justly should we be proud of the feat we have 



20 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

accomplished. Knowledge alone gives ns this 
power. 

Another thought is this — keep reasonable 
hours, don't turn night into day, remember the 
old lines, " early to bed, early to rise, makes a 
man healthy, wealthy and wise." There is more 
truth than poety here. 

Nature requires that we sleep, and sleep well, 
some persons require more sleep than others, 
but generally speaking we sleep too little. 

Children should be put to bed early and al- 
lowed to sleep until they awake themselves, for 
while the physical is growing, and the mental 
expanding with new ideas daily, much sleep is 
required, so parents, if you would guard your 
children's future health and life, let them sleep 
all they will. Burning the midnight oil, as many 
of us have been guilty of, is a dangerous thing, 
it is far better to work in the daylight, rest in 
the twilight, and sleep in the midnight- Eight 
or ten hours sleep is required for the majority 
of natures, and eight o'clock for children retir- 



FROM MY SOEAP BOOK. 21 

Ing, and nine o'clock for adults, would, if 
•adopted universally, be far better than our pres- 
ent system, so let us, one and all, study nature 
and nature's laws more and thus learn the 
rsecrets of Health and its governing laws the 
better, remembering that in knowledge comes 

strength and power.

floPE. 

What is life worth without Hope ? One of the 
characteristics of Hope is bouyancy ; this is an 
element of the brain which should be cultivated 
and made large. Of course, like any other fac- 
ulty, it can be and is often found too large, and 
when we have an overdevelopment of good it 
"becomes an evil ; in other words, any organ of 
-the brain which is too large often produces as 
"bad results as if it were too small. What we 
want is normal action of every faculty. Hope 
strengthens us to battle with life, and in dream- 
ing of what will be or is to be, we are not of the 



22 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

present, but of the future. To the hopeful one 
even death loses its terror, for we can see the 
silver lining in the clouds which hang over the 
valley and produce the shadow of death, and be- 
yond them we catch glimpses of the beauties in 
the after life- 

The pessimist thinks this is the worst world 
possible, while the man with excessive Hope 
thinks it is perfection, he is happy under 
any and all circumstances and wonders why 
everyone else is not the same ; he builds his 
castles in the air, he does not dwell on the 
earth, but in the skies; he is simply a dream- 
er ; he builds his castles high, but when he 
sees them crumble he does not inoan, simply 
builds more, nothing disturbs him, all is well. 
Hope gives us the bright side of life. Where 
Hope is large we have the smile, the bright- 
ness or laughing of the eye, the graceful 
step, the majestic poise, and a tranquility of 
mind and body which only this sense can 
give. The hopeful man is always whistling, 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 23 

singing, etc-, he has to give vent in this way to 
his exuberant feelings. 

If the hopeful man meets with adversity to- 
day, to-morrow he is at work to retrieve his loss, 
accepts the inevitable, and with pride and Hope 
pushes onward and upward. Let us cultivate 
this faculty more, for in Hope we have life, a far 
brighter life both here and hereafter, 

Hope is the anchor of the soul. With Hope 
we are enabled to hold this ship of life 'mid the 
surging waves which surround us, and look and 
wait for the sunlight which is surely behind the 
cloud. Again and again would w r e faint beneath 
our heavy burden of life were it not for Hope. 
Few of us there are indeed, who have not tasted 
of the bitter cup, and many of us have drained 
it to its dregs, and at times we are prone to re- 
pine. But let us throw off this feeling and live 
for the future, for in dwelling upon the past we 
misspend the present and jeopardize the future. 

A writer once said : " Give us great hearts, 
strong minds, true faith and ready hands ;" but 



24 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

we ask for a strong Hope guided by a superb in- 
tellect, and thus we assure this life a success.

Organic Quality. 

Quality is the very essence or ground work of 
Character. The Quality of a given individual 
is the texture of his organization, he may be of 
strong, delicate, or responsive Quality, or vice 
versa. 

The vocation of an individual has much to 
do with forming his Quality, and the natural 
Quality of the man is of great necessity to take 
into account when assigning him to a profession 
phrenologically. Quality, like everything else, 
cau be changed and improved by correct educa- 
tion. Ignorance gives for the time being course 
Quality. Education refines and strengthens 
Quality. There is a great variety of Quality 
in the human race, as great in fact and even 
more than in a forest of trees. In looking at a 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 25 

pine tree we judge immediately what the wood is 
inside of that tree, this is Quality pure and 
simple, so when we look at an individual we 
can judge much of his character through his 
Quality. Quality, when equally blended in its 
three elements, strength, delicacy and respon- 
siveness gives to us a general harmony of 
features, symmetry of figure and a superb ac- 
tion of the brain. However, we rarely meet the 
person who is perfectly blended on these ele- 
ments, and oftener we find the man of coarse 
Quality or fine Quality, etc. 

Quality, when correct, gives delicacy and re- 
finement combined with strength. When the 
Quality of an organization is low^ we have the 
coarse or sluggish nature. Completeness of an 
organization means good Quality, and a good 
Quality means a harmonious nature. Agricul- 
ture cultivates coarse Quality, so does the black- 
smith shop Jewelry manufacturing or chem- 
istry cultivates and refines the Quality, so does 
all intellectual work. The lawyer of necessity 



26 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

cultivates the strong, coarse Quality, and thus 
he is fitted for fighting the battles of his clients. 

The Physician needs a finer and more respon- 
sive Quality than the Lawyer. The Surgeon 
especially must have delicate and fine Quality, 
else he will prove himself anything but fit to 
deal with the minute details of a delicate opera- 
tion. The man of fine Quality enjoys the deli- 
cate professions. He loves to sense the deli- 
cacies of nature. He revels in the diamond shop, 
etc., and the expert on diamond setting and 
cutting, you will find has fine Quality. What 
would the blacksmith do setting diamonds ? 
There is an eternal fitness in all things and this 
element of Quality will always tell you where a 
man belongs, more than any other one element of 
character reading known to Phrenology today. 

The examiner who does not know how to 
detect or who neglects to take into account the 
Quality of his subject has failed entirely to earn 
his money or to impart to his subject the great- 
est feature of a phrenological examination. Har- 






FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 2 J 

niony of man and his work is greatly needed and 
this we must have before the best results can be 
obtained. 

Horses are selected in harmony with the class 
of work for which they are desired, Why does 
not man exercise the same degree of intelligence 
as to his own profession ? and to that of his 
children ? If men could sell their wives and 
children, then, they would give more thought 
and study to Quality, for good Quality in any- 
thing is always of more value than poor. 

We are prone to study only the Quality of 
such things as we can exchange for money and 
this is wrong. Quality is Quality wherever 
found, and we should learn to detect poor Qual- 
ity in a man or woman, just as quick as we 
would in any other being or object. 
The hair gives us one of the best tests of Qual- 
ity. If the hair is fine and strong and hard to 
extricate from the head, this shows us that the 
Quality is good and strong. 

If the hair is coarse and falls easily into your 



28 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

hand as you give it a pull, then the Quality is 
poor. The skin too gives us the Quality. If 
the texture of the skin is close and compact, the 
Quality is strong and enduring. 

Large heavy men who live to fifty years of age 
or over have strong Quality. Good muscles in- 
dicate strong Quality. 

We often see little men and little women with 
superb Quality, then we have the ''little jewels.''' 

The small man or woman with fine and re- 
sponsive Quality will show a brilliancy equal ta 
the ruby or diamond. 

Abraham "Lincoln was a fine type of strong 
Quality, his character was grand and majestic^ 
even though somewhat rugged. Notice the ac- 
companying illustrations of different Qualities^ 

We could mention name after name from 
history's page of noted people, giving their 
Quality, but we deem a few illustrations are all 
that are needed to make plain our meaning. 
A Diamond is brilliant because of its delicacy., 
— its fine Quality.

Quality gives an element for fine Penmanship. 
Prof. B. M. Worthington, of Chicago, was for 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 31 

years the acknowledged penman of the world and 
is one of the best examples we know of, to illus- 
trate this element of fine and delicate Quality. 

We sometimes see very delicate and fine 
Quality in a large person, but we are more apt 
to look for strong Quality in the extra large or- 
ganization. Fine or delicate Quality is abso- 
lutely necessary to all Artictic work. The fine 
and delicate Quality gives us many advantages. 

The Eye sight is nearly always extra good 
that accompany delicate Quality, sometimes 
double normal eyesight will exist, which is a 
great blessing to any one fortunate enough to 
^possess it. Strong Quality is proven by good 
and well developed bones. The teeth are a very 
fine indication of the state of Quality. Good 
teeth means good Quality and poor soft and 
crumbling teeth, indicate a low degree of Quality 
which is ofter very deplorable. Responsive 
Quality gives us the person who thinks and acts 
quickly. Quick thought is a great jewel and 
in order to possess this valuable article the per- 



32 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

son must have Responsive Quality, then prompt 
thought and quick action becomes second nature 
to this individual. 

If the Quality is coarse and sluggish then we 
have the slowness of thought with but little 
power, while, if the organization is coarse and 
strong, we have the ponderance in thought and 
the majestic expression of ideas. 

The Irish are noted for quick wit, while the 
German is slow of thought, but at the same 
time has much power. 

The person with responsive Quality will often 
anticipate your thought and take the words from, 
your lips before you can speak them. It has 
been said that if we had an arm long enough to 
reach to the sun, that it would take a life time 
to know whether our fingers were burned or not. 
Be that as it may, the Quality of the person 
trying the experiment would have much to do 
with the rapidity of travel to the thought centers. 

The study of Quality is a beautiful and profit- 
able study, and we might say much more upon 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 33 

this sadly neglected branch of our work, but do 
not wish to take up too much time nor space 
therewith, so we will leave the subject with you, 
hoping that you will profit by the few sug- 
gestions we have given. Remembering that to 
cultivate fine Quality is to encourage the great 
Polisher of nature, for better Quality means 
better and stronger Character.

Look U: 



^jjf^HlS is a hard command to give, for life's 
W&^ roadway is surrounded with man}' 
thorns and tread as we may we cannot always 
avoid them, still it is our duty to look beyond 
the present and not stop to murmur at what 
we cannot avoid. If we make a mistake we 
should try to profit by it, but we see so many 
people who wreck their lives and sometimes 
their friends also, by brooding over the past, 
this is wrong. To brood over the past is to mis- 



34 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

spend the present and to jeopardize the futnre we 
must be courageous always, and make of life all 
we can, for this life of ours is only a few days. 
at best and it need not be all filled with trouble r 
for if we will open the windows of our mind and 
let in the sunlight we may produce pleasure. 
Life should be one round of pleasure, but ah I 
how different we find it. Trouble comes to all 
and it is so hard not to grieve when we see all 
our hopes and ambitions crushed, or perhaps our 
loved ones are taken away, but we must learn to 
say : 

"Look up, not down ; look forward, not backward r 

Let the dead past bury its dead, 

Onward, onward, onward ever ; 

Human progress none can stay ; 

He who makes the rash endeavor, 

Will like chaff be blown away." 

Look Up, we can all do this physically, if not 
in some manner disabled, and so we can ment- 
ally if we will only try, and if in weakness we 
give way to the brooding spirit at an unguarded' 
moment we should not become discouraged but 
struggle on, and day by day added strength will

be given and as the mini controls the body we 
can produce wonderful results. What we want 
is harmony with all nature and this we can 
have if we will only look tip and partake of 
nature's manifold blessings. 

Look Up, we must, else we may fall by the 
wayside, physically speaking this means much, 
mentally it means more. The mental scientist 
can fully understand. Wonld that all would 
study the mind and its forces more, then would 
nature be better understood and her mysteries 
disappear as the dew before the rising sun. 
The mind is wonderful, its power we ma}' say is 
limitless. Why will the masses not stud}' it 
more? The brain is the organ on which the 
mind plays. Touch its keys correctly and we 
produce harmony, but touch them incorrectly and 
inharmony, is the result. Through the study 
of phoenology alone can we master the art of 
manipulating the brain and when we learn 
transference of thought we have gained a victorv, 
then we can fully understand what it means to 



36 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

Look Up. Sometimes it means life itself and 
often it is death if we continue to look down- 
ward, so let us realize that to live as we should 
in health, happiness and harmony with nature, 
we must Look Up. If at first we fail "struggle 



on."

A. Pure For Dyspepsia. 

SALLOW faced, unhappy looking man came 

.II to Dr. B 's office one day when the writer 

chanced to be present. He wanted some medi- 
cine for dyspepsia. Among other questions the doctor 
asked, " How long a time do you unusally spend at 
dinners?" 

" I dunno exactly," replied the patient. Ten or 
fifteen minutes, I guess. 

Does your food taste good ? Dr. B , asked. 

"That it does," was the reply, "but half an hour 
after I've eaten it I'am nearly dying with distress." 

Do you drink much with your food — tea, coffee or 
water ? 

" A pretty considerable amount," answered the man. 

" Yours is a grave case," said the doctor, "but I 
can help you if you follow my directions." Dr. 
B gave the man a dark colored mixture in a bot- 
tle and said : " Now, it is of the utmost importance 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 37 

that this medicine be taken properly. With each 
mouthful of food take a very small sip and then 
chew, chew, chew, in order to mix it completely with

Two weeks later I saw this dyspeptic again, but I 
•scarcely recognized him, he was so much improved 
in looks. 

"That medicine of yours works like a charm," he 
said to the doctor. "I've about forgotten that I have 
.a stomach." 

" That's good, responded Dr. B , continue taking 

it in the same way for three months and you will be 
a well man." Then, as he man went out, Dr- 

B , said : " The whole story of that man's cure is 

in the word mastication. It is merely what I said to 
him — chew, chew, chew. But he wouldn't have be- 
lieved it without the medicine, which was the simp- 
liest. The man was bolting his food and I stopped 
it." — Youttis Companion. 

We were so impressed with the great truth of 
the above article, that we give it verbatum to 
our readers. 

There cannot be too much said on the neces- 
sity of perfect mastication, for on this fast alone 
-a great mass of the sickness of to-day could be 
prevented, you may hurry with your w T ork, but 
if you want health, you must take plenty of time 
at the table. Some people live to eat, we should

the average person eats far too much anyway, it 
is a good motto to take, to eat less and eat 
longer. 

It is always a bad idea to take much fluids at 
meal time, we find the best results where no- 
fluids are used, except a glass of cold water just.

We " sow a thought and reap an idea ; sow an 
idea, reap a habit ; sow a habit and reap a 
destiny." " The way of the transgressor is

he also reap. These are simply the laws of 
nature, it cannot be otherwise. Character is

not altogether an inheritance, it is what we make 
of ourselves, it may be perverted good, which is 
what is generally considered evil. Character is 
not what people think of us, but it is what we 
reall3 T are. 

We love Phrenology, because it teaches us 
how to build Character correctly- It teaches us 
how to restrain and how to cultivate all of our 
faculties, and thereby gain the much coveted 
prize, — a normal or balanced Character. 

Phrenology not only helps us to build our 
Characters correctly, but it also polishes the 
finished edifice ; it la} T s the foundation strong, it 
builds the many rooms in the mansion great, it 
rounds the corners, it beautifies the inner and 
its outer walls ; it purifies, it improves, adding 
room after room, until completion is at l^st ac- 
complished — in other words, the Character is 
formed and wholly good, ''well done, good and 
faithful servant," earth's greatest blessing is 
yours. — Character.

RENOLOGY AS A PROFESSION 



For W 



OMEN 



delivered at the graduating exercises of the 
windsor college of phrenology, washington^ 
d. c, class of 1893. 

Mr. President, Gentlemen and Ladies : 

I S a profession for woman, Phrenology pre- 
sents unequalled and enticing advantages- 
A woman's profession should be one that is in 
accord with her perculiar endowment of feminine 
sensibilities. Woman is naturally true to the 
moral sense, her profession should be one which 
deals practically with moral duties and privi- 
leges. She is actutely sensitive and intuitive^ 



44 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

and therefore her profession should be one which 
demands quick and acute judgment. She is 
sympathetic, benevolent and maternal. Her 
profession should give her opportunity to em- 
ploy her sympathies toward those who are seek- 
ing advice, comfort and consolation, to extend 
help to the needy, and to receive into her mater- 
nal mind the confidences of humanity's, way- 
ward, discouraged, anxious and suffering children ► 

Phrenology gives her all these opportunities 
in a position where she can command respect for 
her learning and accomplishments and exact for 
her labor a reasonable compensation. 

The nineteenth century has witnessed the 
triumph of woman in many departments of 
knowledge in which she was formerly deemed 
incompetent. How our sister was derided who' 
first essayed to minister to the wants of hu- 
manity in the field of medicine ! How she was 
abused who first aspired to proclaim truth from 
the pulpit, and what an earthquake shook the 
realm of conservatism when she demanded ad- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 45 

mitance to the temple of justice ! But history 
shows that she has been a success in all of 
these, as in other vocations. 

One of the greatest advantages conferred by 
Phrenology upon woman is, that it enables her 
to judge both men and women correctly, and 
gives to her that practical knowledge of human 
nature and of human affairs of which she has 
heretofore been supposed to be ignorant. In this 
Phrenology is woman's best friend and counsel- 
lor. This life is not a dream, it is filled with 
stern realities, and the woman who understands 
herself and others through this science has the 
world at a disadvantage and her life is an as- 
sured success, mentally, morally, physically and 
financially. Mentally, because it gives her the 
highest culture, morally, because it endows her 
with a citadel against temptation and crime. 
Physically, because it teaches her to use all her 
splendid endowments, and financially; because 
it gives her the control of her time and her com- 
pensation. Without boasting, I can truthfully 



46 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

say that I have made more money in Phre- 
nology in one day, than some of my less fort- 
unate sisters can earn in months of the hardest 
labor in other occupations. 1 often make more 
than a hundred dollars per day. But ladies, the 
best fact is, that Phrenology makes us better, 
stronger and braver women, and this we surely 
need. I first studied medicine, but that did not 
satisfy me, its incompleteness could not fill the 
yearnings of my woman's soul. I studied other 
sciences with the same result, but in Phrenology 
I have found my true vocation, and in its de- 
lightful study and practice, I have spent the 
happiest moments of my life. And, if by future 
efforts, I can induce any gifted woman to take 
up this glorious work, and by lifting the burdens 
of humanity, exalt herself to a magnificent suc- 
cess, I shall feel that I have not altogether lived 
in vain. As to our present graduating class, it 
is needless to say we are proud of them — yes, 
Ave are proud of them all, and you will find in 
the Ladies of this class the brightest, the truest, 
the noblest of women — .[Applause. J L. D. W.

<fV%^E are almost daily in receipt of inquiries 
l^fcSliy fr° m f ar away friends or patrons, some- 
thing like this, ki how do yon like Washington?" 
and too we are asked daily at our desk "how do 
you like Washington ? Why friends what else 
could we say but that we like it, but that seems 
so tame, for we are delighted, entranced, be- 
wildered with Washington and her wonderous 
beauties, in fact, we can't begin to tell you how 
we love her already ; yes, it feels like home here, 
friends tell us it is because all the Cranks con- 
gregate here and that is the reason it is con- 
genial to us, be that as it may we are pro: id to 
be numbered among the Cranks then. On the 
3rd of March, (1893, ) we came to Washington 
for a ten days' stand, what was the result ? In- 
stead of working for ten days and leaving for 
another city as has been our custom for ye: rs, 
we fell so "dead in love" (with the city the 



48 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

boys would say that we are here yet, and better 
still we are here to stay. People have said to 
us, why we thought Phrenologists could not stay 
in one city, thought they had to travel in order 
to make a living, etc. Well friends you don't 
know us, we can make a living anywhere, but 
we even make money in Washington, but money 
isn't all there is in life after all, it is simply a 
convenience, and a certain amount of it a neces- 
sity, but there are many other things which are 
worth more than money to us. 

Washington is said to be the " Mecca Of 
Leasure," but with our experience we have 
found a great deal of energy and force among 
the people at large ; of course, we have ma?ny of 
the wealthy, retired people, who are simply 
leading an active autumn of life as it Ave re, but 
the young and ambitious are many among our 
number ; but I think of all places in the Avorld 
this is the most desirable home, either for the 
wealthy or for the ambitious one. We wish Ave 
had room for a'ou all, but we are very select here,

for it is my opinion, (and I should know, for I 
have visited them all, ) that there is no other 
city in the United States that can boast of as 
much combined beauty and talent as Washing- 
ton can. She is not only beautiful as a city, but 
she has the prettiest women in the world, (the 
men say so,) and she certainly has handsome 
men, that is an undisputed fact. Her streets 
are asphalt, beautiful and wide, and on either 
side are lovely shade trees all over the city, and 
in springtime and fall this feature alone is ex- 
quisite in its loveliness. And then the Wash- 

* 

ington Parks, Oh ! they are so numerous, every 
few blocks you see them, and they are veratable 
flower gardens almost the year round. It makes 
us think of the old and true saying, that " when 
we are in life, we are in death,'' for here, while 
we are in the city we are in the country, for we 
in a great measure have the beauty of one, and 
the advantages of the other ; in fact, our ad- 
vantages in almost every way are superior to 
other cities. We came near locating

ill several different ones, but never could exactly 
get our consent to do so, there was always some- 
thing disagreeable to contend with that such and 
such a city did not have, and so we traveled on 
and on, year after year in this unsatisfied wa) T , 
but we have at last found a resting place, and 
we are pleased to say that Washington is our 
Home, and let us give you a cordial invitation to 
visit our home and see for yourselves its wond- 
rous beauties. We will welcome you all, and 
this is the place where the grandest of intellects 
congregate, so come on friends, and join our 
throng. One more word, when you visit our 
home, (Washington,) don't neglect to call at our 
special department, the Windsor Phrenological 
Parlors and Free Museum, which are open every

ON THE 

bacco Question. 



Tobacco Q 



WO my friend, we are not " millionaires") in 
&w!l> mone y>) an( ^ we naven 't $400,000" to spare 
just now (in cash,) but we have got what is better 
than either, Brains and we shall use our stock 
in trade to the best of our ability, fighting this 
monster evil Tobacco. And we are frank to say, 
(even though our influence might seem small as 
against such a mighty evil,) there is a great Pro- 
cession, yes, of wondrous length, marching on 
life's roadway to-day, who through our precept 



54 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

and example are total abstainers from the man- 
hood destroyer, Tobacco. 

Bnt it is appalling when we think of the enor- 
mous amount of Tobacco which is consumed 
yearly, and especially does it grieve us when we 
realize what a great amount is consumed in this 
beloved United States of ours. Oh ! our country 
and our people, what is to become of them ? 
In the Chicago Times of recent date we are 
told that, that city has 1 360 cigar and cigar- 
ette manufactories, and 130 factories for snuff, 
smoking, and the fine cut tobaccos, and Chicago 
imports a great deal of her Tobaccos. It is 
stated by the Times that the aggregate sale of 
Tobacco in all its forms yearly in the city of 
Chicago alone cannot be less than forty million 
pounds, (this is in 1894) There are fully 20,- 
000 places where Tobacco are sold at retail in 
the aforesaid city alone. Imagine, if you can, all 
the Tobacco that is in Chicago to-day, taken out 
on some barren field and a pyamid or mountain 
reared Think you, how high, how long, how 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 55 

-wide it would be ? I fear the most of us would 
fall far short of conceiving in our mind's e}-e 
the enormous mass. Ah ! well we cannot hope 
to save the masses from the '' tobacco malstrom," 
"but we will and do save the few. On with the 
good work we say ; there is work for all. We 
believe in temperance in all forms, but as to To- 
bacco and Whiskey, we believe in total absti- 
nence, and we shall be heard far and near as 
-against these evils as long as life and strength 
be ours to command, and we believe that some 
-day, (it may not be far distant,) that the nian- 
Tiood in man, and the womanhood in woman, 
will so exert itself as we see it to-day, that it 
will free itself from this pollution and come forth 
cleansed and purified, and shall live as man should 
live, — in cleanliness and in health, then life 
will be of worth to us instead of simply wast- 
ing our existence in disease and death, then we 
will have health in life. So let us do all we 
can towards righting and arresting this evil, for 
'tis said li the constant dropping of water wears

the right direction will surely reap its just reward- 
So we will struggle on and hope to victory 
gain.

NTELLIGENCE, 



jg|| FEW days ago I was asked the surprising- 
{jSpk question, "isn't man the only intelligent 
animal?" I certainly answered, no indeed, we 
are as a race certainly the leaders in intelligence^ 
but most assuredly we do not have a monopoly 
of all intelligence. Why, I have often seen, 
horses and dogs, with more sense than some men 
and women I know, indeed I have, while the 
animal creation have not as many kinds of 
sense; in other words they have not as many 
different organs in the brain as we have, there- 
fore they do not manifest as great a variety of 
thought as man is capable of, but the few fac- 
ulties they have are very active and sometimes 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 57 

very strong. I have a Parrot whose brain is not 
large, but is of very fine quality. Some people 
think Parrots have only one faculty, that of 
imitation, (which is incorrect, for they have 
several.) To show you that they also can reason 
and show their intelligence by doing the right 
thing at the right time and place, when I first 
enter my office in the morning, or when I first 
see Polly for the day, she instantly says " good 
morning Mamma," and when friends come and 
go it is " how do you do" and " good-bye." If 
you call a cat in her hearing she will at once 
mew and often will say " come to Polly kitty," 
u prett}^ kittie, and if a brass band passes the 
street (she is very fond of music) she will call 
us to the window. She not only understands 
the pleasures of life but also the sorrows ; if you 
come in the room and complain of being sick 
or even speak in a weak tone, she gets your 
condition instantly and will begin to groan most 
pitifully, and often says " Oh, my head," "Oh, 
lordie," "Oh, dear me," and she will groan until 



58 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

she makes you laugh, then she thinks you are 
better, which you doubtless are. I knew a Par- 
rot whose name was Eddie, and he was taken 
very sick — dangerously ill, and no doubt to my 
mind but he knew more than we would ordi- 
narily give him credit for — for he said " Eddie 
is sick, Eddie wants to die." All day long he 
would groan and repeat this phrase, at sun- 
down — he died. We know how Cats have been 
known to follow people and refuse to be com- 
forted by other friends, while they are as a rule 
very succeptable to kind treatment and plenty 
to eat, (the most of us also are,) still they have 
been known to starve almost, through their love 
for a human friend, and sometimes we see them 
act almost human on some faculty. And then 
there is the Horse, who says he is not wise. We 
think if he could only talk, he would really as- 
tonish the best of us with his intelligence, and 
doesn't he talk ? Suppose you walk through 
the yard where he is grazing, with a bundle of 
fodder under vour arm, what does he sav ? Don't 






FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 59 

he talk ? Can't you understand? I think you 
do. And then we have the Dog, the dear old 
house and personal guard and friend, let any one 
who doubts the dog's intelligence read the fol- 
lowing article, and I think I need not pleacl 
again for him. 

POOR REX MOURNS. — A DOG WHOSE TWO LITTLE 
CHARGES SLEEP IN THE CEMETERY. 

" The Prince School on Newbury street has lost a 
strange visitor. 

During last fall and winter a regular caller was a 
bull terrier, which appeared at the school every 
morning, escorting two little children. 

Not content with seeing the children in the school 
yard, Rex would follow them into the school building- 
and down to their very seats ; then he would turn 
gravely round and march out again with a pace as 
dignified as a drum major. When it was time for 
the closing of school for the day he would again be 
on hand to escort his charges back to their home. 

This attention he continued day after day and 
seemed to find the task a pleasure instead of a burden. 
It all came to an end, however, shortly after the New 
Year. Rex is the property of Mr. S. A. Wetmore, 
city editor of the Herald, and the two children to 
whom he played escort duty were Mr. Wetmore's 
little daughters, Florence and Edith. 

In the latter part of January Florence died from a 
severe attack of gastritis, and the daily tramps to the 



60 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

school were interrupted. Curious to relate, the dog- 
never would go near the place afterward. He seemed 
to be affected with grief almost human for his little 
playmate, and now his loneliness has increased more 
than ever, because his remaining companion has been 
taken from him." — Boston HeraU. 

Animals are simply like man, they are what 

they are developed ; for while we have many 

naturally, and from all appearances what w r e 

call the intelligent class of animals, we also 

have many more that show wonderful powers 

when properly educated. One of the prettiest 

sights I ever saw was the company of educated 

Seals. I could entertain you an hour telling 

you of their wonderful work. One of the most 

laughable performances I ever attended was the 

Rooster Orchestra— just think of it, barn yard 

roosters entertaining an intellectual audience. 

with their music on violin, drum, tamborine, 

horn, etc., well they did, and I laughed and 

laughed, and so did everybody else, but I think 

when that audience left the auditorium that they 

had more respect for the chicken ever after, I 

did. I have seen Wolves educated ; they are 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 6 1 

said to be one of the hardest animals to tame or 
to educate, still we see them play with their 
keeper as a dog plays with his master ; in fact, 
every animal can be educated to a marvelous 
degree if only the correct course is taken and 
persevered in, for the great universal mind per- 
vades all nature, and if we will only seek out 
the key, and unlock each secret combination, 
great will be the mysteries unfolded to our 
vision — mental and physical. Let us each, and 
all strive to "cultivate this wonderful mind in 
whatever form we see it manifested, and thus 
develop it more and more. 

There is not enough kindness shown to the 
animal creation. If animals were treated better 
and their brains cultivated they could and would 
be much improved. 

We should realize that animals have rights 
which we must respect. Every animal cer- 
tainly should be treated kindly, but is he?

Revelations of Head /Measurement 

IN THE 

^ranklin School, JS an 'Francisco. 
New JSystem of Child Study 



It Is Demonstrated That Bad Boys Are Large 
Behind the Ears, and Those With the Big- 
est Heads Are Smartest. — Many Teachers 
Taking Up a New and Novel Study of Child 
Matures. 



'^SSffill OWN at the Franklin Grammer School, on 
^JUjII Eighth street, the boys and girls are being 
fe^S) measured and tested in all sorts of interest- 
ing ways. 

Their heads are being measured with tape lines and 
big nickel callipers, around OYer and through and 
the number of inches and fractions between ears and 
from occiptal bones to the frontal sinuses is set down 
in appropriate columns. Then their physical pro- 
portions are taken, the color of hair, eyes and skin, 
the apparent quality of muscle and bone and a lot of 
other things. 

This is all part of a system of child study which 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 63 

Principal James G. Kenned}' has been evolving for 
a number of years. The system has been presented 
to about twenty teachers of the city in a series of ten 
afternoon lectures just closed and many of these 
teachers are so interested in it that they are going to 
carry it out with callipers, tape lines and blanks in 
their own classes. 

A HARD PROBLEM SOLVED. 

All this measuring and testing is designed to help 
find out just what sort of a being a given boy is. The 
average boy is wonderfully and often fearfully and 
mysteriously made and disposed. He is a problem 
hard to solve with a tape line and a pair of callipers, 
but Mr. Kennedy's system comes pretty near doing 
this, without hurting the boy, either. 

Mr. Kennedy's system of child study is original 
in the way the study of the physical side of the child 
is brought in. The physical studies are rather inci- 
dental to the mental study, but are brought in be- 
cause the physical conditions correspond to and re- 
veal the mental tendencies of the child. 

These head measurements that are piling up are 
based on the theory that certain regions of the brain 
are the centers of certain powers and functions. Mr. 
Kennedy has the brain charted in a broad way in ac- 
cordance with the generally accepted teaching that 
the intellectual powers reside in the front half, the 
emotional and vital in the rear, that a high head be- 
tween the ears indicates activity and width, behind 
the ears energy and combativeness. 

When an urchin stands up to have his brain mea- 



64 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

sured a tape line goes first around his head. Twenty- 
four children of ten years had heads ranging in cir- 
cumference from 19 to 21*^ inches. Mr. Kennedy 
says that, as a rule, the children with big heads are 
in the lead of their classes. The exceptions are gen- 
erally cases where the quality of the brain is poor, and 
its quality generally corresponds to the physical na- 
ture as shown by texture of hair, skin, etc. In that. 
bunch of twenty-four heads and occipital bones 
ranged between twelve and fourteen inches and 
the distances over from ear to ear between twelve and 
thirteen and one-half inches. The fellow with the 
widest head will give ten pounds and fight any day- 

CALLIPERS TELL THE TALE. 

The callipers give these measurements. They are 
like a big pair of bowed compasses with little knobs 
at the points. One knob placed in the ear and the 
other on the bump at the back of the head gives the 
distance back of the median line, read on the gradu- 
ated scale. 

No two Franklin school heads are built the same 
way. Mr. Kennedy ran his fingers down the columns 
yesterday and picked out a good boy. Going over to 
the proper columns it was found that he measured 
five inches from ear to center of forehead by the cal- 
lipers and only 4^ inches from ear to occipital bone, 
showing the marked predominance of reason over 
impulse. An unlucky urchin, whom nature has 
given but 4 inches of head in front of the median 
line and 4^ inches behind it, is always getting into 
trouble by doing things he ought not to, and thinking- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 65 

about them when he stands trembling in the princi- 
pals office. 

The hearing is tested by one person stretching a 
tape line outward from the ear and another person 
moving a watch along it until it can be heard. Acute 
ears can hear an ordinary watch 24 inches. Mr. Ken- 
nedy has found the hearing of 25 per cent, of children 
poor or defective, and in most cases it had never been 
noticed before. Lack of attention and apparent stu- 
pidity in school he says, are often due to poor hearing. 
About 30 per cent, of eyes are defective.

We are indebted to a California friend for the 
-above clipping. While its teachings are neither 
new nor novel to us, neither are the ideas original 
with Prof. Kennedy, it is certainly interesting 
in more ways than one. We are glad that the 
Pacific coast is on the alert for everything good 
as usual, and we hope that Prof. Kennedy re- 
ceived an enthusiastic welcome, which no doubt 
he has from the statements in the above article. 
If all teachers would only follow Principal Ken- 
nedy's example, how different it would be. It 
is true that there is not any two heads alike in

any school, nor in the world for that matter,, 
there are similars and dissimilars. and when we 
realize that there are no two children alike in any- 
given school, then why should we expect the 
same treatment or rules for discipline and culture 
to prove advantageous to all. This is the old prac- 
tice, but is it the correct or successful way ? I 
think Prof. Kennedy, with his experience, would 
tell us it was not, for what is mete for one is 
death for another. If the organization's in the 
school room are different, then the discipline 
must be different, in order to be just in all cases- 
We congratulate Principal Kennedy upon his 
adopting this system, and we hope he will make 
it universal. You are on the right course Pro- 
fessor, and we bid you great speed in the grand 
and good work you will accomplish in your field y 
and we can but say we hope others will be quick 
to follow in your footsteps.

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Wyde. 

HERE are two distinct elements in man y 




for convience, we will call them Dr. 
Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, the pnre and the impure, 
Now, some scientists I know will quarrel with 
me right here and say that all is good— yes, we 
say so too, bnt there is perverted good, — the 
right and the wrong. We know that there are 
always two sides to everything. We find it true 
of man, and often we find it difficult to find the 
best side of a certain person, and occassionally 
we find it difficult to find the wrong side to an 
individual, but this class is usually a woman 
with wings growing out and getting ready to fly 
to unknown parts — these perfections are hard to 
find. On the other hand, our Mr. Hyde's side 
is fully represented, and we see him manifested 
daily to our great annoyance and inconvieuce. 



68 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

When we are natural, we are as we should be, 
and are then showing to our friends Dr. Jekyll, 
or the better side of our nature, but how many 
of us always show this side ? I hear the chorus, 
not I, not I ! .Well friend, if you are not a be- 
liever in the two distinct natures in man, I think 
you must acknowledge it now, for if you do not 
always show at your very best, you must have 
another side. I don't mean by this the saint 
and sinner, that theory has been exploded long 
ago, but the different sides of our nature show 
simply as we bring them out, and cause them to 
reflect the inner man, if we live pure, think pure, 
and act pure, the reflection from us will be from 
the pure side, and the radience of purity will be 
seen and felt; in other words, the Dr. Jekyll' s 
side of our nature is shining forth in its lumin- 
ous brightness, light and love. But if we cul- 
tivate the other side, by impure associates, read 
light or vulgar literature, harbor impure thought, 
follow impure acts, note the result; instead of 
light, there' is darkness, gloom and dispa'r, in

fact, Mr. Hyde has made his appearance, and we 
shudder at his approach, still, the poet says: 

*' Vice is a monster of such frightful niein , 
Thus to be hated, needs but to be seen; 

Yet seen too oft, familiar with her face, 
We first endure, then pity, then embrace. 1 ' 

So yon see, we must cultivate the side we 
-would most perfer to show, for the one we live 
l>ecomes second nature to us, or rather it pre- 
dominates; thus, if we wish (and I hope we all do) 
to show our better nature, we must be on the 
alert and cultivate ourselves for the noble side of 
life, and thus it is that Phrenology aids us by 
teaching us how and when to cultivate or restrain 
as the case may be, and thus bring out the bet- 
ter side of our nature and hold in check the 
other. With the aid of Phrenology we can hold 
Mr. Hide in check and let Dr. Jekyll have full 
liberty and thus gain the prize, — the coveted 
^prize of a glorious manhood or womanhood, 
treading all vices down and only showing Dr. 
Jekyll in all his loveliness, which to me is the 
ideal character. 



JO LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

I do not think there has ever appeared a play 
on the boards that has done more good to the 
American people than " Dr. Jekyll and Mr. 
Hyde," for it certainly proves to all, the two dis- 
tinct natures in man, and what each can become. 
Therefore we shonld strive at all times to 
cultivate the good and restrain the evil. The 
maj ority of people know right from wrong, bnt 
often find it easier to do the latter and so they go 
down, on and on, cultivating the coarser side of 
life, when they shonld climb tip and np, ever 
reaching ont for something better and brighter. 
Thns friends, Phrenology aids ns, for it shows 
ns the great and grand possibilities of onr indi- 
vidual organizations, and helps to display the 
Dr. Jekyll side, and to throw a shadow over Mr. 
Hyde, and he is lost to view in the radiance of Dr. 
Jekyll' s personalty, and thus life should go on 
towards perfection, and as the hair by age turns 
white and whiter, the nature should grow pure 
and purer, brighter and brighter until the end.

OTHERHOOD 




w HERE is so much a mother can do for 
* her offspring, not only after its birth, 
but before. I wish mothers would think of this 
matter more, and learn to know how to act to 
develop their children in the nature and image 
of the perfect man, " only a little lower than the 
angels ;" in fact, when women and men under- 
stand and obey nature's laws as they should, our 
children are born angels. 

We do not advocate large families, but good 
ones. One child well born is worth a dozen half 
born, and the father and mother who fall short 
of their capacity in this matter have committed 
a great sin, not only against themselves and 
their darling child, but against all humanity. 
The prospective mother should study well her 
part, for so much can be done by her alone. All 
physical and mental suffering is the result of 



72 LECTUEES AND CLIPPINGS 

•disobeying some of nature's laws. Whose fault 
is it, yours or your parents ? Perhaps the 
mother's. We see every day the child paying 
the penalty of its parents sins, this is hard to 
contemplate, but such however is the fact. 

Motherhood should be the greatest of bless- 
ings, but how often we find it seemingly a curse, 
and why ? Simply through ignorance, that is 
all. The mother, during her pregnancy, fre- 
quently gives way to high temper, peevishness, 
moroseness, etc., etc., and when the baby comes 
and is fretting and crying all the time, she can't 
see why other people can have good babies and 
she such cross one. My dear prospective mother, 
just remember this simple fact, that you are the 
mirror, your child is the reflection ; this thought, 
I think, may help you. 

Of course there are certain times during preg- 
nancy to give certain impressions, such as 
special talents, etc., this is done by knowing at 
what stage of pregnancy each organ of the 
"brain forms. This subject is fully discussed in 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. J$ 

our published works which all men and women, 
should read before marriage. 

It is said, "marriage is either heaven or hell."' 
On hearing this quoted once, a woman spoke up 
and said, "it is both," and gave us her experi- 
ence. Her first mrriage was on the mismated 
line, there was no harmony between them, she 
married for money and position, and with 
constant association, of course life soon became- 
a hell to her, as she expressed it ; later her 
husband accidently died (perhaps it got too hot 
and took his breath away) and she married again,, 
this time for love, and they were scientifically 
mated, therefore their union was "heaven." 
' Two hearts that beat as one," etc. 

We can well afford to suffer a little "hell," if 
we only but reach the "heaven" "at last, and such 
we have in the perfect marriage. And why do- 
we marry ? Because it is right, natural. Mar- 
riage is honorable in all, (who are healthy,) and 
the outcome of marriage is, of course, children^ 

I pity from the very depths of my nature, the 



74 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

woman who reaches the age of forty and has 
never felt that peculiar thrill of joy that comes to 
the mother, when she presses her babe to her 
breast- This is the joy unspeakable to the true 
woman. The architect is proud and justly so, 
of a finished building. The lawyer is proud of 
his success in the courts. The artist is proud 
of his work in marble. The man and woman 
artists in child making, should share this pride, 
for is it not more to mould a human body and 
inind after }^our own image than it is to carve 
out of the lifeless marble a cold statue? Note 
the difference, yours is living, moving, breath- 
ing, all expression and life, while the marble 
likeness is rigid ; expressionless, lifeless and. 
cold. All professions are ennobling, but moth- 
erhood is the grandest and best of all, "mother," 
the sweetest and dearest name on earth except — 
"baby."

Wome Again. 

Washington, D. C. 
To Our Friends : 

^fSNfcff E took a little vacation, a trip to Texas, 
t^^lfa to visit many old and valued friends, 
and most of all to see our mother and dear little 
boys, or rather big boys — yes, we have two big 
boys now and what a time we did have with 
those boys and with other friends and relatives, 
we enjoyed ourselves so well that we wrote to 
some friends in Washington that we felt we 
were but 16 again, for we were enjoying the 
visit so much, and what do you suppose those 
friends replied to our statement — well, that they 
were glad that I was enjoying my rest and feel- 
ing so young, but that I would receive a warm 
welcome at home, even at my present age, and 
they certainly did give me a very cordial greet- 
ing on my return ; in fact I didn't know how 



j6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

popular I was, like some people who die, yott 
didn't realize how good they were till their 
obituary appeared. 

I had a splendid time, but with many things 
against me. While in Texas a lady friend took 
me out driving, the horse ran away with us r 
turned the buggy over, spilled us out — of course, 
broke my lady friend's arm and gave me quite a. 
nervous shock — most turned my hair grey ; but 
with such occurrences as this even, I had a good 
time after all. I had slow horses, fast horses r 
slow trains and fast trains, but all the same I 
was in that grand old state of Texas, which gave 
me birth, and the state that gave me two of the 
brightest boys in America, (their mamma thinks 
so,) and so I had a glorious time any way. 

It is a real treat to meet old and tried friends,, 
those who have stood by you in all the sorrows 
and triumphs of a young and ambitious life, those 
who are just as much your friend when your 
pocket is light as when it is heavy laden. Such 
friends I met, and God bless them, I hope to>

meet them all again before we pass to the far be- 
yond. But the best of friends must part, and 
this was the trying hour to me, to leave again 
my babies and my friends, and to return to my 
work at Washington. Yes, this must be done, 
for I have many duties in this life yet to per- 
form, so I came — }^ea tore myself from the lov- 
ing arms of children, home and friends, and once 
more I am at my post in Washington, in the 
midst of other friends, and will try and serve you 
better than in the past. 

I was absent 30 days, and of necessity, had to 
neglect some of my office duties, but 1 hope our 
friends w T ill pardon all delays, for I am home 
again and will be pleased to serve you. On my 
return, in passing through Ohio, our train was 
delayed 15 hours, (held up by the strikers,) we 
didn't enjoy that part of the program, but we 
had to endure it, as you see life is not all sun- 
shine, even with us. We have been very hard 
at work since our return, picking up the many 
dropped stitches caused by our absence, and we

will soon catch up with our work if we don't run 
away again. Now friends, don't scold if we do, 
for the weather is very, very warm in Washing- 
ton and it is so pleasant, I am told, at the sea 
shore and I know it is far preferable to play 
than to work in warm weather, but for the pre- 
sent, at least, I am "at home."

Washington, D. C. 
Dear Friends ; 

%g[ DID run away again, I couldn't help it, the 
mB' weather is so warm here now, so I once 
more closed my office for a few da} r s and went to 
the seashore, (Atlantic City, N. J.,) and oh, what 
a nice time I did have, how refreshing and in- 
vigorating the pure fresh breeze, and the plunge 
in the surf every day. I can't begin to tell you 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 79 

how I enjoyed those baths, I never know when 
to come out of the water for I enjoy the sea 
bathing immensely and then comes the rest 
after the bath — how I do sleep — two rows at a 
time as the little boy said and eat — well if I 
hadn't been fortunate enough to have been 
quartered at a first class hotel, I don't know 
what would have became of me, for everything 
I tasted was so verv o>ood — I mean I had such 
an appetite — and I am never dainty I can tell 
you, but the change, the rest, the fresh air and 
the salt water bathing every day, certainly gave 
me a vigorous appetite, which was full}' satisfied 
from the bill of fare at ik The Rossmore," kept 
bv the Hartsock Bros. , this is indeed a pleasant 
stopping place, the hotel itself is a beautiful 
building in a good location, (cor. Pacific and 
Tennessee Avenues,) many of the rooms front- 
ing towards the ocean, commanding a lovelv 
view, but the best of all to me was, their break- 
fast, dinner and supper, (old style) every meal 
t>eing first class. I went down all alone, but 



8o LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

early the next morning after my arrival I met 
two friends, husband and wife, (and later met 
many other friends,) that day I enticed my lady 
friend to go in the surf bathing with me, I liked 
to have let her drown, however we enjoyed our- 
selves and had some hearty laughs. 

The next day the husband went in bathing- 
with me, he hadn't been in the water for six: 
years, and he says he was never so near frozen 
to death by a woman in his life, so we couldn't 
get him in the surf any more, he would stand 
on the shore and wave at us while we were 
reveling in the grandeur and beauty of the sea 
and scene. 

With all my pleasure however, I was not idle 
for I made some money. The president says, 
"I always have an eye for business," so when I 
see a chance for some good work I am in for it 
then and there, but I certainly had a delightful 
rest and a pleasant trip ; wasn't " held up" this 
time by the strikers either, but came through 
strictly on time, so once more friends I am at

RIENDSHIP 



RIENDSHIP is an organ of the brain 
(iKl which is sadly neglected by the Ameri- 
can people ; in fact, the lack of Friendship is one 
of the great American defects. We say it with 
shame, for we should show this element more 
than any other people. But we are cold, ex- 
clusive, hardened and selfish, because we are not 



82 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

exercising and cultivating the element of Friend- 
ship. We should throw out our magnetism 
more and not crawl into our own shells, as the 
turtle does, everytime we come in contact with 
any one ; and often times we not only jump back 
in our shell aud shut the door, but we snap or 
snarl as we do so. This manifestation shows, 
the lack of Friendship. We should study and. 
cultivate Friendship in our children and in our- 
selves, just as carefully as we do the alphabet,. 
for we are as liable to make mistakes in one 
place as the other. We should study the likes 
and dislikes of others, and take an interest in their 
affairs and endeavor to promote their welfare. 

When we meet, do not stand back on formality, 
but greet humanity with a smile, shake the hand' 
heartily, say a kind word, if you like a person 
tell him so, speak of his virtues to others and 
thus pass on the encouragement of the cultiva- 
tion of one of the grandest elements of the hu- 
man organization. Friendship gives us warmth 
and enthusiasm of manner, and with Friendship 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 83 

large we draw people to us ; they like us for we 
like the 111, aud thus often the strongest of 
attachments are formed. 

All mental faculties can and should be culti- 
vated, for exercise gives strength, so with 
Friendship, if we want friends, we must make 
friends, to draw friends to us we must go to 
them, live for humanity and not all for self. 

Woman has the organ of Friendship larger 
than man usually, unless she is unfortunate in 
being deceived by supposed friends until she be- 
comes hardened and cold to the influence of 
Friendship. We have seen some of the grandest 
and, best men and women ruined, their lives 
utterly wrecked by false friends, for it is a great 
shock to the system if we have large Friendship 
to have our friends not prove to us what we are 
to them, but we must learn to recognize and rea- 
lize the fact, that those who prove false to us are 
those with less Friendship than ourselves, thus 
through Phrenology we can see and understand 
how to forgive the short-comings of our friends 



84 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

and should try and cultivate and help them to a 
better development and a better understanding 
of life and humanity. Their is no sense that 
can help us to do this more than the sense of 
Friendship well developed in ourselves, for — 

"What is friendship ? I will tell you : 
Eyes that weep for others' wrongs, 
Shoulders bearing others' burdens, 
Lips repeating others songs. 

friendship is a chain, embracing 
Rich and poor and young and old ; 

Even the beggar child may fondly 
Touch in awe its links of gold. 

Friendship is the heart's devotion, 

By warm, loving acts confessed 
Thinking trials only pleasures, 

If they give a loved one rest. 

Friendship is a sweet compassion, 
When brave courage is unmanned, 

Asking naught, but trusting fully, 
Quick to soothe and understand." 

The person with large Friendship has a great 
advantage in this life, for however independent 
he may feel, life is not life if lived without 
friends. We do not begin to live until we can 
truthfully sa}^ we live not for self alone, but for 
others, hence the great importance of teaching 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 85 

children Friendship, for the first lessons in life 
•are the most lasting and sacred. Sacred ? — yes, 
nothing could be more sacred than an early 
lesson in Friendship is to me. During my re- 
cent tour of the South I met face to face a friend 
of my childhood. I say friend, and I mean 
friend, for a friend in need is said to be one in- 
■deed. I was only 12 years of age, but I was full of 
ambition and pride and hope for my future, but 
^vhen all seemed the brightest, the cloud fell 
heavily over me — I lost my father, for he passed 
to the beyond. I felt my loss more deeply than 
I can express. I was unconsolable, for the dark- 
ness was dense before me, but the darkest hour 
is just before the day, and as the dawn ap- 
proached I saw a friend's hand beckoning me on 
and on. I heard that friend's words : "Come, 
my child, and drink from the fountain of know- 
ledge." I saw in his eye a love and Friendship 
far more eloquent than his words had conveyed 
to me. I knew when I clasped his hand that he 
was my friend, for through the sympathy of our 



86 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

natures our minds had blended ; he saw in the 
child before him hidden power and the bud of 
the future, while I realized his abilities to lead 
me on toward my ambition's height, for he was my 
teacher, and the best friend of my youth and I. 
love him still. He was my idol in childhood 
and is one of the few idols which we have- 
planted upon pedestals high, which have never 
fallen. A beautiful eye makes silence eloquent 
— his eyes were eloquent, especially so to me and 
I used to stand at his knee and look into his 
eyes and try to fathom their depths. This, I 
presume, was one of my first lessons in Phre- 
nology. 

As I met this friend of my childhood a few 
days since he clasped my hand and said to me,. 
"And you are an Author now," I felt and said 
as I thrilled under his magnetic touch, "Yes, 
and you are largely responsible for all of my 
success." He seemed astonished and surprised,, 
for he did not realize what strength he had given 
me by his kind words, kind deeds and kind

ONJUGALITY 



ONJUGALITY is the love mating organ- 
<Pg| of the brain. The desire to lo\ T e and to- 
be loved is innate- in the mind of all and is 
really one of the strongest elements of our 
organizations. Love is natural to all and with- 
out this organ of Conj ugality it would be a Pro- 
miscuous love, but Conjugality discriminates 
and selects one and if the person having Con- 
jugality normal marries, he is very apt to be 
true to the one of his choice. 

" He is blest in Love alone 

Who loves for years and loves but once." 

—Hunt. 

The lines from Hunt express the action of 



"88 LECTUEES AND CLIPPINGS 

Conjugality perfectly. There is perfect peace 
in Reciprocated love, but great is the anguish 
-when all the Conjugality is on one side and this 
we often see in couples. One will be all de- 
votion and the other deceit, which is often caused 
hy Conj ugality on one side and the lack of it on 
the other. 

The organ of Conjugality in the brain really 
should be called the organ of Love and Wisdom, 
but love with wisdom is to-day very rare indeed. 
Fidelity to one which is the true meaning of 
Conjugality is a jewel rarely found, but its 

rareness makes its value the more when pos- 
sessed. Love is the life, the sun, the all of 
woman's existence, for she is never inspired to 
Tier greatest capacities except through love and 
generally this love is for the opposite sex though 
not always. 

Conj ugality gives us the " mine and thine" 
element in love. It is not good for man to live 
alone (nor for woman) hence Conjugality says 
seek a mate. " The loving woman finds Heaven 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. < v 9 

or Hell the day she becomes a bride." If she 
marries the man of small Conjugality then this- 
earth to her is very liable to be a hell, for woman, 
more than man, craves this "oneness" of love- 
Marriage through Conjugality can either be in- 
finite happiness or a living death. Frankness 
and honesty is indispensable in love. Polygamy 
has existed in all ages. Polygamy results 
from small Conjugality and Monogamy is the 
result of large Conjugality We cannot believe 
in the harem for all natural laws are against it. 
One man for one woman and one woman for one 
man is all sufficient. One should live for the 
other, this is Conjugality and it develops us into 
the higher life, just as nature intended. The 
man with small Conjugality simply regards 
woman as a plaything to gratify his animal 
caprice, while the man with large or normal 
Conjugality craves the love of one true and pure 
woman. The only happy marriage is where 
both are Conjugal to a normal degree, as Love 
makes the man or woman. Visit the Conjugal 



90 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

Home with me if you please, there you see con- 
tentment — there you will recognize the man as 
King and the woman as Queen and Goddess. 
To see and to know them is always to love them 
for we unconsciously throw off to others the hap- 
piness or the miser}'- of our own natures and 
where all is love in a home, the friends and call- 
ers partake in a degree of that love element and 
they feel better and happier for having met such 
people. 

Marriage without love is simply legalized 
prostitution and in order to have the pure and 
unselfish love we must have Conjugality large. 

The man with small Conjugality does not 
marry because he craves the love and com- 
panionship of a good women, but if he marries 
at all it is for convenience and he is rarely 
ever true to any woman no matter how superb 
a being she may be. The person with large 
Conjugality only, can comprehend the great and 
grand usefulness of this organization and Ave 
certainly recommend a study of this faculty of 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 91 

the mind, for through its correct development 
comes the sweetest and the best elements in life. 
While with the lack of its possession, often the 
deepest and blackest of sorrows are the results. 
The man of small Conjugality is very likely to 
soon become tired of his wife, because she ceases 
to be a facinating plaything and no matter how 
congenial she is, nor to what extent her devotion 
for him has grown, he leaves her for another and 
"off with the old love and on with the new" is his 
motto. And he may also be small in Con- 
scientiousness and. Benevolence, if so, such an 
organization as this is so intently selfish that he 
has no consideration for wife, nor for any one 
else for that matter, except as they gratif}^ him 
and his selfishness. 

In speaking of the organ of Conjugality do 
not understand me to say that every person not 
laving this organ large will necessarily prove 
unfaithful in the marriage relation. That will 
depend, of course, upon the controlling influence 
■of other organs of the brain over that of Con- 



92 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

jugality, but I Have merely given you the gen- 
eral action of Conj ugality as I understand it. 

And as we are taught in Phrenology that size 
is the measure of power, other things being- 
equal, is it not reasonable to suppose that the 
larger the Conjugal organ in the brain the more 
liable we are to see its devotion to the obj ect of its 
choice, for the larger the organ the stronger the 
thought, which is generated by it. Therefore,, 
we expect to see the person with Conjugality 
large, live the life of fidelity. I do not say 
there are not exceptions to this rule for there 
are exceptions to all general rules. 

But in discussing the action or the use of any 
organ of the brain we simply give you the nat- 
ural function which the organ causes the fac- 
ulties of the mind to generate. 

Therefore argue as we will, think as we may; 
it does not alter the fact, that the larger the Con- 
j ugality is, the more Conjugal the person will 
be, other things being equal.

Children and The -Future. 

j^HE future of the Race depends upon the 
|^f|? Children, therefore it is of great import- 
ance that the children have the correct start in 
life physically and mentally. Physically, be- 
cause without a good health organization there 
•can be but little accomplished. Mentally, be- 
cause we must exercise the mental always and 
in order to do great work we must have a great 
capacity, therefore great brains are needed for 
the future — and we need them now. But how 
to produce great minds for the future is concern- 
ing us to-day, and the problem is easily solved 
through Phrenology and is sumed up in these 
words. Give the children their rights and the 
first and most important right of every child is 
to be well born mentally and physically, when 
this is done the rest is easy. We love to edu- 
cate and help all we can the Fathers and Mothers 






FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 95 

•of our country, but we enjoy helping the child- 
ren most and as we have heretofore written and 
talked more to the elders than to the children, 
now we are going to speak for the benefit of the 
children more. Children are greatly abused. 
Oive them their rights — by no means let them 
run wild. We believe in child government al- 
though not in corporal punishment. We never 
Relieve in whipping the little folks, they never 
need it if they are treated correctly. If we 
wished to whip anyone we should tackle some 
big people for they sometimes need whipping. 
A correct beginning is the half of everything 
and so with the government of children, if we 
begin aright the rest is easy enough. But we 
want to especially beg for the health and de- 
velopment of the children. Our city children 
are kept in too close — they do not get sufficient 
exercise physically, and generally they are de- 
veloped mentally at the expense of the physical. 
Give the children room and of all things teach 
them that greatest of all exercises — running. 



96 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

We see and hear of many kinds of cures for 
humanity's ills, but we have never yet seen a 
running cure advertised. I wish we had, for 
running would be a great cure. Walking and 
riding is prescribed, of course, that is fashion- 
able, but running is undignified, at least so con- 
sidered, but do let the children run, boys and 
girls alike, it will give them health and strength, 
for in running you exercise parts of your or- 
ganization which are generally used the leasts 
the heart, the lungs, legs, feet and toes, all are 
brought into this exercise, while the back and 
arms which are generally used the most are 
quiet, therefore running serves the great need 
of mankind — equalized circulation. It brings 
the roses to the girl's cheeks and the grace to 
her movements and the boy who has a chance 
to run all he wants too, develops into the mag- 
nificent man he has often wished he could be. 
Fresh air, good food, pure associations and plenty 
of running will give us strong men and strong: 
minds for the future. 






FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 97 

Keep the head cool and the feet warm is a 
-great health and development law, and there is 
no better way to do this than to run, run, run. 
Of course we do not mean for you to run and get 
over heated, but simply run moderately for ex- 
ercise, for there is no better promoter of health. 
You will never see a frequent runner subject to 
insomnia, headache or apoplexy, etc., for the 
runner equalizes his circulation and these ills 
cannot exist. 

See the boy or girl after a run, notice the 
sparkle of the eye and the rush of blood to the 
cheeks, how beautiful and how charming nature 
is, if we would only live naturally all would be 
well. Running is natural and it is life, not only 
for the boy and the girl, but to the man and the 
woman. I have some friends both men and 
women who are running to the Doctor all the 
lime in search of health, but they fail and why? 
because they don't run the right way, it would 
"be more appropriate to say they crawl to the 
Doctor. It would be better to run out the 



98 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

Doctor. If people run more some of the Doctors 
would have to go out of business, for running- 
when taken daily and moderately will cure al- 
most every disease known to man. Even Con- 
sumption must yield to the running treatment, 
and as a preventive of this dread disease there 
is no better practice and I don't see why run- 
ning should be unpopular, for it is certainly a 
pleasant and an inspiring exercise, it brightens 
the mind's action and dispels melancholy, it ex- 
ercises every muscle of the body, but chiefly 
those that are not used in ordinary work. Run- 
ning expands the chest and improves the breath- 
ing, purifies the blood and quickens the circu- 
lation as nothing else ever does. One important 
thing to remember is, to always keep the mouth 
closed while running and breathe through the 
nostrils, this however is the only correct way to 
breathe at an}^ time, and the person who from 
youth up breathes through the nostrils will 
never have catarrh, but especially in running 
keep the mouth closed tightly and thereby drink:

Wow To Bea^ Sorrow. 

yf^VERY person whether high or low, rich or 
jllfg' poor, have their sorrows and many of 
them are secret sorrows with which no friend 
can inter-meddle, for every life has its mysteries 
and its hidden treasures. Hence the great im- 
portance that we study and learn how to Bear 
Sorrow — and to bear it alone, which is the great- 
est of accomplishments, an accomplishment — 
yes, for this is an acquired art and not a natural 
gift- All powers are natural but Emotions 
are allowed given vent to and cultivated through 
•the natural surroundings of life generally- 
While we should control our every emotion, 
on the instant, we cannot always do this, but 
with constant effort we attain almost to perfec- 
tion in this art. 



IOO LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

Grieving over anything does not change mat- 
ters as we would have them. Then why grieve? 

Why not take things as they come and make 
the best of them ? 

I do not mean by this that we should be care- 
less and neglectful, far from that, we should al- 
ways be earnest, careful and conscientious in all 
lifes's efforts and if we fail to accomplish, or win 
a much desired object, we should be satisfied 
with the results or resigned to the failure, for 
we have done the best we could with the light 
before us — and this being the case, we should 
not murmur nor centure fate nor ourselves, but 
let results take care of themselves as we have 
the inner consciousness of doing the best we 
could under the circumstances. 

I consider one of the greatest compliments 
ever paid me, was by a lady friend one day when 
she said u you beat all to bear trouble" and then 
qualified it by saying "you do not bear it, you 
throw it off." 

Both statements I consider as highly compli- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. IOI 

mentary for it must take great power to be able 
to do either, and the power is with us if we will 
only learn to utalize it, for there is a stronger 
power within us, than that against us and we 
should so learn to use our own power that we 
will not be overcome by the power of others. 
The power or good within ourselves is limitless, 
if we will cultivate it continually. 

Then, temptations are easily refused, sickness 
is joyfully borne and speedily cured, persecu- 
tions are gladly endured when we have love and 
peace within. 

We should live the life of love, peace, content- 
ment and resignment, doing all the good w r e can 
for ourselves and to friends and to all humanity. 
But do not mourn, do not grieve over what you 
cannot help, you love life and health and all 
that is beautiful, do you not? Then don't 
grieve, for grief destroys all hope, all beauty, all 
liealth and even life itself. So we must learn 
enough of selfishness to protect ourselves for we 
are dear to many friends and should be dear to 



102 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

ourselves and if from selfishness alone we should 
learn How To Bear Sorrow- 

The art is very simple, simply phylosophise 
a little. Can you change the person you are 
grieving about by grieving? if not, why grieve? 
Can you bring back from death the loved ones 
by grieving after them ? if not why grieve ? 
Can you bring back the property lost by your 
mismanagement by grieving over your mistake? 
if not, why grieve ? Can you bring back the 
health and the rose tints to your cheeks by 
grief?, if not, then don't grieve, for what cannot 
be cured must be and should be endured. 

If we will take the thought and act opposite 
of grief, then we will accomplish more. "Be 
happy while you may." We can do much to 
force happiness and contentment into our lives 
by will-power and resignment. It is said we 
find what we look for, so if we go through life 
looking and courting griefs and sorrows they 
will surely come to us, while if on the other 
hand we are ever looking for the blessings of 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 103, 

life and enjoying to the fullest extent all happi- 
ness that conies to us, soon our pathway will be 
one of sunshine strewed with beautiful flowers 
and happiness will be our lot because we are 
seeking the jewels of life, health and joy. This- 
is so much better than grieving over the past 
for however much we grieve we cannot change 
an act, so listen one and all, simply profit by the 
mistakes of the past and live and look for the 
pleasures of the present and future "for whatso- 
ever ye sow that shall ye also reap." We have 
often proven this fact by trying to make others 
happy — unconsciously we have brought happi- 
ness to ourselves thereby. 

Life is sweet and life is bitter, which do you. 
prefer ? The one we cultivate the most, is the 
one we will reap unto ourselves so it is well to 
throw aside the bitter and select out the sweet- 
morsels. We are composed of two selves as it. 
were, the outer and the inner self, to our friends, 
and to the world the outer self or the envelope 
containing the inner self is what they see and 



104 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

know or rather study, while we if we study 
aright may know the inner self. 

My object in mentioning the two selves is to 
impress upon your minds the importance of 
keeping the envelope as pure and spotless to 
look upon as possible, for our friends and more 
especially strangers, judge the interior by the ex- 
terior. Hence the great importance that special 
attention be paid to the element of beauty, clean- 
liness and dress for this is the envelope which 
we are judged by. The face especially is noticed 
and studied by every one we meet and they form 
their opinions of us through the impressions 
which the face and its expression gives them. 

If you are living and partaking of the bitter 
side of life, spending your hours in repining and 
grieving over the ''might have been," your 
friends and even the strangers, will see this in 
your face, for grief leaves its marks, which is of 
easy detection and if you do not want to grieve 
your friends and lessen your own beauty and 
power at the same time, then change your own 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. IO5 

life, do not grieve and repine, but be thankful 
and joyous for the blessings you do possess and 
ever remember this fact, that if one door is closed 
to you another will be open for you. There is 
always good to be done and happiness to be en- 
joyed if we will only look and search, for that 
element- 

We can produce Heaven on earth and Hea- 
ven within ourselves by correct action and 
thought. It is not the happy man or woman 
who has never seen nor known trouble but 
rather the one who has passed through deepest 
fire and come forth purified as it were and are 
the more able to enjoy the sweets and pleasures 
of life, for out of the brass of our trials and 
troubles we can make a golden crown of joy. 
Some will say to me that they cannot be happy, 
that they cannot help grieving. Ah, yes you 
can, — practice makes perfect, if at the first you 
find it hard to lay trouble aside, try again — 
simply forget yourself and the work is done- 
Live in your work and for the good that you. 



106 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

may do, controlling yonr life, your temper and 
your mind in all its bearings and your face will 
beam with joy and it will cast a ray of sunlight 
w T herever you go and those who cross your path- 
way will be better and the happier for having 
met you. What a blessing it is to be able to 
help humanity out of sorrow into jo}\ This 
blessing is yours, for in forcing happiness into 
your own life its joys fall upon those with whom 
3^ou come in contact, as happiness is contagious 
and so is grief. The influence of a smile is won- 
derful — of a frown terrible. 

The smiling face we all enjoy and the frown 
we dread and it is perfectly natural that we 
should for we are all lovers of the beau- 
tiful. One of the sweetest and most beautiful 
faces I have ever known, was ruined by grief 
and an untimely death claimed her its victim 
and she was thus torn from friends, home and 
affluence because she was controled by her emo- 
tions. Ah, I hear you say, poor thing, that is'the 
way so many die and so it is — but is this right ? 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 107 

Is it right to give beauty, health and life up 
to this fate ? No, a thousand times no. It is 
not just to ourselves, to our friends nor to hu- 
manury. We should strive to live long and 
usefully, and when we fail to do this we have 
cheated the world and ourselves of what nature 
intended. If we will only remember that life is 
love and joy and its purpose the good that we 
can do, we will be the better able to live as men 
and women should live. The world is always as 
we take it and life is what we make of it, so let us 
bestir ourselves, be just to nature and to friends, 
and last but not least be just to self. 

SMILE AND NEVER MIND IT. 
'Tisn't a bit o' use to fret — 

Take life as you find it ; 
Best world that we've been in yet — 

Smile and never mind it. 

We would be compelled to smile if we would 
only stop and think for one minute of the 
various blessings we enjoy day b}^ day. The 
joys of our life are threaded together like pearls 
or corals upon a string and if we will only let 
grief fall out and only retain the joys, soon we 



lo8 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

will have a long, glorious and precious list of 
jewels to contemplate. 

Link after link of joys and then when some 
grief is thrust upon us we should stop and count 
over the jewels or links of joy and thus bring 
to mind the pleasant side of life. This would be 
far preferable to grieving over what there is no 
hope of regaining or changing. 

A grand orator once said, " Oh, blessed men. 
whose very losses are their gains, whose sorrows, 
produce their joys, whose griefs are big with, 
heaven," well indeed may we be content to suffer 
or accept the inevitable, if it be that all things- 
are working together for our good, which is 
nearly always the case, though we cannot see 
it at the time perhaps, but often live to realize 
that what we thought was great grief to us has 
really brought us joy in some mysterious way 
which we had never dreamed of, for if there is 
" no cross, — no crown." 

The great thing for us all to remember is the 
wonderful power of the mind and its various- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 109 

development. The possibilities of the mind are 
wonderful indeed- Our minds are the seeds or 
buds from which should come the beautiful and 
perfect flower of a magnificent manhood and 
womanhood and in order to make the best of 
our lives we must gain perfect control of our- 
selves, for great extremes are never beneficial 
and are often very detrimental. So with grief, 
which always injures us, if we allow ourselves 
to be weighed down by it.

it is the case here, the book is small, but, at the

which are delightfully expressed in accurate 
and scientific language, and in its perusal we 
had exquisite pleasure. The title, " Education," 
is a word which always stirs our nature through 
and through, for we constantly see so many er- 
roneous ways of education ; but, our friend, the 
Author has solved the problem, as few have 
done before ; yes, my friend, Phrenology gives 
us the "key" to the correct "Scientific Edu-

is a just command, for "what is the mission of 
education if it be not to edify, moralize and re-

Phrenology a Searchlight. 

Delivered Before the Graduating Class of 
the Windsor College of Phrenology, Wash- 
ington, D.C. Class of 1894. 



Mr. President, Visiting friends and Class friends : 
*HU)HRENOLOGY is ever interesting because 
jJIIJ it is beneficial, for it is the searchlight 
through which we get at the truths concerning 
humanity. Phrenology is something real, it is 
something tangible, it is something useful. It is 
&. science and the most useful one we have to-day. 
Its doctrines are based upon scientific prin- 



1 1 2 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

ciples. Let every one who doubts the practical 
utility of this wonderful science study, and 
learn something of its underlying principles 
before he condemns it. For if you don't un- 
derstand a science then you don't know whether 
its doctrines are true or not. So post yourself. 

The science of Phrenology has perhaps stood 
more abuse than any other science, but still she 
continues to search and her light grows brighter 
and brighter every day. Phrenology can, and 
will do more for the human race than all the 
other sciences combined. 

When Dr. Francis Joseph Gall, our beloved 
leader, discovered Phrenology, he threw out the 
searchlight over humanity, and his followers 
down to the present time have never grown 
weary of searching for the truths which only 
Phrenology can give us. 

Phrenology in its practical application is the 
science by which human nature can be accurately 
read, by the size, shape and quality of the brain. 

Every force or power must have an organ. 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. U3 

through, which to assert itself in order to dem- 
onstrate its power. Now, the mind is a power 
and a great one, and of necessity must have a 
competent organ through, which to express 
itself, in order that we may utilize its power. 

The musician must have an instrument upon 
* 
which to perform before he can play or exhibit 

music. 

The brain is the organ or instrument, the 
mind the performer, and our actions constitute 
the music. 

We should remember always the importance 
of keeping the instrument in tune, in order that 
we may produce good music on short notice. 
Phrenology gives us the power of understand- 
ing ourselves, and the power of leading others 
into the way of harmony. Phrenology as our 
searchlight gives us the power of separating 
the chaff from the wheat in humanity. We not 
only recognize the idiot and the insane man, the 
man of genius, etc., as distinct types, but we 
see by the light of Phrenology what kind of a 



114 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

genius or what kind of an idiot is before us. 
We can detect each and every talent, and not 
only the talent, but the particular grade of that 
talent. 

Can any honest man or woman say with these 
facts before them, that Phrenology does not de- 
serve the foremost position in the line of the 
sciences ? 

We love all the sciences, but we love Phre- 
nology the most, because it teaches us of man- 
Man, who is the greatest mystery the world has. 
ever yet produced, becomes under the searchlight; 
of Phrenology like an open book, — easily read. 
We discover his talents, we detect his weak- 
nesses — what more can we ask ? Phrenology to> 
me is life, real life ; to live, or rather to exist- 
without it, after once tasting of its joys, would 
be death itself to me. 

We love to live Phrenology and we love to> 
practice Phrenology ; we love to live it because 
it teaches us how to live correctly. We love to< 

practice Phrenology because it gives us the 

\ 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 115 

power of helping our friends and all Humanity 
who come under our hands. 

The phrenologist's mission is a grand one ; it 
is always in his power to do good. I am sorry 
to confess he does not always live up to his 
knowledge. With the innocent and the igno- 
rant we sympathize, but the man with the knowl- 
edge of the right who goes and deliberately 
commits the wrong we cannot but detest. This 
is why it is so hard for humanity to excuse a 
wrong act in a phrenologist, because they know 
that the phrenologist knows the right path to 
tread, and I want to impress upon this class the 
absolute necessity of living the phrenological 
life, — which is all purity and approaching the 
perfect. The phrenologist, the true .phrenol- 
ogist, is the director and the leader to all that is. 
good and true. The phrenologist knows more 
concerning humanity than the minister, there- 
fore he must be a better advisor and a better 
man. 

The phrenologist understands man's wonder- 



Il6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

ful make-up better than the physician, therefore 
he can heal better and prevent more disease ; in 
fact, this is one of the lines where the phre- 
nologist can do his greatest good, that is, in 
preventing disease. 

Phrenology gives ns the key to health and 
through Phrenology we detect the cause of ill 
health and the ways and means of preventing 
and curing all disease. 

If Phrenology gives us the power to know 
ourselves, which it undoubtedly does, then the 
phrenologist must be expected to be the perfect 
man. And when he is not, we find it hard to 
make an excuse for him ; for we know that he 
willfully and knowingly transgresses the laws of 
knowledge, and we feel like shouting or hissing 
at him : " Practice what you preach." 

Temptations come to all, but you should re- 
member that you are not a man if a temptation 
you cannot resist. 

The life lived pure and good without a temp- 
tation would deserve but little credit, but the 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 117 

one who can conquer the most, deserves the 
brightest jewels. 

Phrenology means mnch to me ; I hope it 
•does to yon ; and if we love the name Phre- 
nology as we should, we will never do anght to 
disgrace it, bnt will ever seek to bnild it np and 
through its searchlight power we will strive to 
seek ont the diamonds of humanity and polish 
them to their utmost brilliancy. 

Your knowledge you will always have with 
you. See that you use it to the best possible 
advantage ; act well your part and do all the 
■good you can. 

Now, class friends, I must admit there comes 
over me to-night a feeling of sadness. I am 
.sad in the thought that this is our last meeting. 
It is needless for me to tell you that we have 
learned to love you. Yes, we love you, collect- 
ively and individually ; we are proud of you 
and proud of your work. 

In former years the saddest words of all to 
me were good bye ; but to-night I realize that to 



Il8 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

say good bye to you means for you, good luck r 
good work and a life of success, if you but fol- 
low trie teachings of our grand mental and 
moral science, which you now so thoroughly 
understand. We commend you to our friends T 
and trust that the future may be bright to yon 
all. 

I wish to thank the members of this class for 
the many encouraging words and magnificent 
presents they have bestowed upon me. Be as- 
sured, friends, that I shall treasure each token,, 
and in all years to come I shall never forget the 
dear friends of the class of 1894. (Applause.)

Face {Study of^ Physiognomy. 

H$^E study the face because it is convenient 
to do so. not because there is more 
character in the face than in any other portion, 
of the body, for character — the whole character 
is expressed in the little finger or the big toe 




FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 1 9- 

just as it is in the face ; it only depends upon 
your skill to read it- 

We prefer, however, to study the face because we 
have more opportunities at that- We can study 
faces all day long and no one knows it. We can 
even look into the eye and penetrate its depths 
and the owner does not detect that we are read- 
ing his inner soul. 

Face study or physiognomy is often misunder- 
stood. It is simply the external appearance or 
the channel through which we gain phrenologi- 
cal facts. The face is the index of character, or 
the geography or map of the mind within, while 
the brain is the throne of the emotions and the 
battlefield of the passions. 

Every thought-wave leaves its imprint on the 
face. For every pure and holy thought there is 
left a line or dot, and for every impure and re- 
vengeful thought there also comes the line and 
strong these lines are marked in many a other- 
wise lovely face and how easily read by the cul- 
tivated face delineator. If young people only 



120 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

knew that they were marring their facial beauty 
by every act of unkindness, peevishness, bad 
temper, jealousy, etc., they would often refrain, 
and instead, practice the virtues which leave the 
beautifying lines on the face. 

Thoughts and actions are mighty chisels for 
the countenance or face — the chisel of discontent, 
for instance. This is one of the chisels that dis- 
figure and mar the beauty of the face. It is one 
of the sharpest and most destructive chisels to 
the human countenance. It mars the disposition 
and then disfigures the face. It gives a con- 
temptuous curl to the lips and draws down the 
corners of the mouth and leaves various signs 
easily read by those who study character. 

Another disfiguring chisel is revenge or hate. 
This chisel cuts deep and leaves some very ugly 
marks, especially around the eyes. It puts 
cruelty into the compression of the lips and a 
tinge of spite spreads over the entire face, and 
you can tell from that face that the owner is 
pursuing some one and trying to get even, as he

calls it, little knowing that he is wronging him- 
self more than any one else. 

But here comes another chisel which is far 
more pleasant to contemplate. It is the chisel 
of kindness. It is the chisel of kindness and of 
love. Here we have the most magnificent 
sculptor that ever touched the human counte- 
nance. The entire face becomes, under this 
chisel of kindness and love, a masterpiece on 
which all the best artists of nature begin to put 
their finest strokes and on the small compass 
of that face are put pictures of resplendent 
beauty. This face is known and loved the world 
over ; it is so bewitching, so enticing; so mag- 
netic, that we follow it, for we are loth to lose its 
power and beauty, for it invigorates us, it 
strengthens us, it teaches us that life is within 
and not without. We all love this face and feel 
its influence for good always, whenever we meet 
it, so why not endeavor to cultivate and en- 
courage the action of the chisel of kindness and 
love, for this really embraces the chisel of bene-

volence, of charity and of many other graces 
which add to the glory of the face. 

We should ever strive to hold and suppress 
the chisels which mar the face and destroy the 
character of the soul or mind. But we should 
seek to encourage the chisels whose every line 
gives added strength to the inner man and a 
rarer, richer beauty to the face.

Sympathetic Action of the Brain. 



§YMPATHY gives us the key-note of the 
brains wonderful action. Phrenology 
long years ago, discovered that the brain was 
composed of many organs or convolutions, but 
many have been the theories as to the action of 
these different faculties of the mind. Do they- 
or can they act individually? or does one organ 
or set of organs control the others? are questions 
which many honest people are asking them- 
selves to-day. We rarely use the word con- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 25 

trol, for we prefer the term assist; but we 
recognize the fact however, that each organ in 
the brain controls at some particular time. We 
like to illustrate the action of the faculties of 
the brain by a School of Fishes. You may 
think this a novel illustration, but we will try 
to explain. See the School of Fishes going up 
stream how graceful and perfect is their every 
movement. If you will notice there is one a 
little in the lead, he is the controlling fish or 
brain faculty just at this time, the others are 
all following — assisting. On they go, upward 
bound, noiselessly and tranquilly they glide up 
stream, first one then another in the lead but all 
assisting. 

All moves well as long as w T e are heading up 
stream, or in other words as long as each faculty 
is exercised in the correct manner, for there nec- 
essarily is the correct and the incorrect use or 
exercise of every faculty of the mind, for one 
organ of the brain is just as necessary and as 
pure in its correct action as any other. But as 



126 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

long as we keep the entire brain under its cor- 
rect action we are with the fishes — moving up 
stream and pulling for the fountain head — some- 
thing in the beyond. Ambition leads us on and 
on, with the faculties of the brain moving in 
this direction, we develop the best side of life 
which is all brightness, intellectualit}', love, 
health and happiness. The correct use or action 
of the mental faculties always insures us joy 
and gives us the radience of the pure life. The 
incorrect use of the organs of the brain ine- 
vitably bring us sorrow or the reverse of the 
correct action. Thus we see great and good 
natures turn down the stream of life. Plainly 
we can see the leading faculty, we note the turn, 
we spot the leader and note the restraining 
forces, some of the organs will not turn at first, 
but they try hard to pull on up the stream and 
gain the prize ; but the strongest will wan and 
thus we often see those who are dear to us car- 
ried down the stream by the incorrect action of 
one or more organs of the brain. 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 27 

The restraints or hold back influences that do 
-not turn down stream after their leader, may 
prove but temporary, for if the acting organ or 
leading faculty be the larger and stronger, soon 
you will see the other organs, one by one, turn 
and fall in line and down our idol goes, treading 
the lower walks of life, just as we see the School 
of Fishes turn down stream, each following in 
rapid succession until all are gliding down 
stream together, one leading and the others as- 
sisting. These are the two extremes of life, 
however, we see them every day and while the 
former is to be loved and saught for, the latter is 
to be spurned. How careful we should be to 
keep every faculty in its normal action and be 
as nature intended us to be — pure, healthy and 
happy beings, walking in the right way.

Domestic Co- Operation. 



^I^HE late Oliver Wendell Holmes once said y 

Qm3 



"that some literary men reminded him 
of big, magnificent snips that got all the credit 
for their own beauty and usefulness, while in 
reality some busy little tug of a wife was pull- 
ing them over the shoals." 

We were reminded of the truth of the above 
statement during the recent political campaign 
by a letter we received from a lady friend, who 
was the wife of a contestant. In her letter to 
us she said : " My husband may not be elected, 
but if he fails it won't be my fault." 

I well knew what that meant, for I knew the 
couple. He is a man of great power, mentally 
and physically, stands over six feet in height 
and draws the scales to near 300. 

While she is medium in size, but solid and 
compact, energetic and forcible, and ever ainbi- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 129 

tious to see her husband in the front ranks, so I 
see her tug, tug, tugging away, pulling that big 
liusband up to fame, and all the while not even 
heing detected, for she is so diminutive that we 
look over her as we admire this majestic ship — 
the successful man. 

The best of all is that she is happy in her work, 
liappy — yes, her husband is her idol ; his suc- 
cess is her heaven, why shouldn't she be happy? 

If people would only realize that there is 
more pleasure derived from working to benefit 
others than for selfish motives, we would cease 
to wonder that the little tug boat characters are 
lappy in their work. 

All the stimulus such a wife needs is a loving 
and appreciative husband, for just as long as 
she knows that he recognizes and appreciates 
lier efforts in his behalf she never wearies. 

No labor is too great for her to undertake ; no 
sacrifice too much for her to make ; loving, 
t rusting, hoping ever, working and living all for 
him.

Some men, however, are ashamed to own that 
their wives can or do aid them in any way ; they 
think it takes from, them their glory, as they call 
it, forgetting the fact that it takes a man and 
woman to constitute the complete humanity. 
But many of our best known characters to-day 
are proud to own that their wives are their help- 
ers. It seems to me that it would be a disgrace 
on the man's judgment if she was the reverse ;; 
for he surely made his own selection and "took 
unto himself a wife." 

It is said of Talmage, who can command the 
handsome sum of from $500 to $1,000 for a. 
single lecture, that he would be a poor man had 
his wife not constantly watched him, while he has 
the name of being a shrewed business man by 
those who are not familiar with the facts in the 
case. 

And Bob Burdette, that irrepressible Bob, the 
prince of humorists, proudly says that he owes 
all his success on the lecture platform to his 
little invalid wife, to whose memory he is still 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 13* 

devoted. We all remember trie pathetic verses 
he wrote at the time of her death. Although 
years have passed since that sad hour, he seems 
to feel her loss just as much to-day. 

We are told he has her portrait 'in his room, 
and every day he takes his little boy to pray be- 
fore that picture. That woman, although an 
invalid, did much for the world when she 
launched that majestic ship, Bob Burdette, for 
he is one of the most attractive men before the 
public to-day. 

We like to see husband and wife working side 
by side and if both are capable, it is really won- 
derful how much they can accomplish in a very 
short time. Each working for the other, un- 
mindful of self, success soon crowns their efforts 
and happiness reigns supreme.

ENEYOLENCE, 



i§Pffe§?HO of us does not admire the benevolent 
f^S||g) person? The word alone brings many 
pleasant memories to mind. Benevolence gives 
us sympathy, liberality, philanthropy, etc. The 
benevolent person is gentle and forgiving and 
ever solicitous of others interests, often neglect- 
ing self for others. This is a good faculty to cul- 
tivate in childhood. Teach the little ones to be 
sympathetic and kind to each other. Teach them 
to be kind to their dogs, cats, horses and in fact 
everything, you cannot begin the exercise of 
Benevolence too soon. 

Benevolence is neglected in our education to- 
day, everybody is for self, instead of living for 
others and the good we may do. The benevo- 
lent person holds a diamond key which fre- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 33 

quently unlocks the door of misery and brings 
to view the richness and splendor of happiness. 

The benevolent and sympathetic nature can 
place himself en rapport with the feelings or de- 
sires of others and can thus see and know how 
and where to turn his actions for good, but of 
course this faculty, like all others, can become 
too large and then we have if extremly large, a 
character like Gosse, the Englishman, who gave 
away an immense fortune ; — afterwards inherited 
another and this time appointed an agent to take 
care of his money so he would not give it all 
away. The agent would give him out his al- 
lowance at regular times, but he spent the most 
of it in charity and when his money was ex- 
hausted he would break down and cry because 
he had no more to give. 

What we want is normal action of every organ 
of the brain, for we do not want the person of too 
much Benevolence neither do we want the char- 
acter who is devoid of this grand and lovely ele- 
ment. We are a blessed people for we are living

in an age of scientific research and through. 
Phrenology we can cultivate or restrain Bene- 
volence and bring it to its normal action, for 
Phrenology unlocks the chain of ignorance and 
shows us the true state of our Benevolence and 
if too small, which is generally the case, we can- 
see through the brilliant flash of phrenological 
knowledge the ways and means of developing 
ourselves to what we should be in this faculty. 
It is deplorable to scatter thorns in the path- 
way of another, so with Benevolence large we 
give our neighbor smiles instead of frowns and 
smiles are flowers along life's roadway. A kind- 
ness is never lost, for even if it falls unheeded 
upon the object, it is a benefit to ourselves al- 
ways, for an act of kindness brings out one of the- 
best elements of our nature, so you see it is a cul- 
ture to ourselves as well as a benefit and happi- 
ness to others. Gladstone, that grand old man,, 
is noted for his Benevolence, which is often 
shown in little things, such as giving a bunch 
of flowers to a servant who chanced to pass him 



X$6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

in his garden saying "pray accept them." His 
Benevolence is shown when he visited the poor 
street sweeper who was taken ill and we know 
by studying his character that many a burden 
has been lifted from sorrowing heads by Glad- 
stone's Benevolence. 

Many people think that if they have not 
money they can accomplish nothing in the line 
of Benevolence, but this is wrong for there are 
kindnesses worth more than money. Sometimes 
even a kind word or a smile is of more value to 
some hungering soul than the glittering gold 
could possible be. Gold can do much to bring 
happiness and sometimes health, but kindness, 
real true Benevolence can do more than gold 
with all her power, for Benevolence can and does 
Teach the heart through sympathy and satisfies 
the hungering nature and often we find a men- 
tal hunger for more devouring than the physi- 
cal hunger even is. True Benevolence is a 
great virtue and a joy unto ourselves and to 
others. Learn to do good and to cultivate this 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 137 

sentiment of Benevolence which is beautifully 
expressed in the following lines * 

"The bread that bringeth strength I want to give 
The water pure that bids the thirsty live, 
I want to help the fainting day b/ da/ : 
I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. 

I want to give the oil of j >y for tears, 

The faith to conquer crowding doubts aid fears, 

Beauty for ashes may I give always ; 

I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. 

I want to give good measure running o'er, 
And into angry hearts I want to pour 
The answer soft that turneth wrath away ; 
I'm sure I shall not pass again this way. 

I want to give to others hope and faith, 
I want to do all that the master saith, 
I want to live aright from day to day ; 
I'm sure I shall not pass again this way." 

Life is so uncertain, hense the great importance^ 
of doing all the good Ave can — to-day. It is easy 
to lift the burden of care, if we will give our 
kind words and acts toward that end. 

If we are cultivating the Benevolence of our 
nature we will be able to see the opportunity to 
exercise this element daily, for charity is needed 
on every hand.

Why Are We Here. 

(Lecture Delivered at the Opening Exercises 
of the Windsor College of Phrenology, 
Washington, D. C, Class of 1895.) 



Mr. President and friends : 

HUpE have come together for a noble pur- 
fM$) pose. We are not here simply to be 
entertained, bnt to work and to stndy humanity. 
I hope, everyone of you will in sincerity, study 
the greatest, the grandest, the purest and the 
best of all the sciences, Mental and Moral Phy/ 
losophy. Greatest, grandest, purest and best, 
because, it deals with humanity. With this 
science we are facinated when we learn of its 
possibilities, and when we dive into the depths 
and learn its inmost secrets, we are facinated the 
more. The more we learn, the more we wish to 
learn. The more we learn, the more we can 
learn, for with knowledge comes the increase of 



'"HI 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 139 

power for knowledge. So I would say, do not 
grow weary, if the first lessons seem mystify- 
ing and hard to learn, for as you learn and study 
day by day, the grand truths of our science will 
unfold before your vision, as does the rose bud 
burst into the full blown rose before the sun's 
rays. Da}' after day the leaves of the great 
t>ook, unfolding to you the truths and possi- 
bilities of Phrenology, will be turned, and on 
each page, will be found a new and more inter- 
esting lesson. Mental and Moral philosophy, 
how much is meant by these words, we can not 
even give you a faint idea to-day, for the possi- 
bilities of this science are simply at present 
unlimited. 

You ma}' not have the culture of the schools, 
nor the polish of fashion, but by a knowledge 
of Mental and Moral philosophy you become 
masters of men. You must remember that it 
is not always the most learned who amount to 
the most, but it is the one who puts his know- 
ledge to the best use.

To be sure those of you, who have been blessed 
with a good education have that much advant- 
age ; but watch you, that some of the less 
fortunate ones do not surpass you in this work. 
Mental and Moral phylosophy to my mind 
simply means to use the mind to the best pos- 
sible advantage. We should so thoroughly 
study and understand the mental forces, that 
we have every manifestation of our mentality 
under perfect control, and as the mind controls 
the physical, we have no trouble in holding to 
the moral. I find myself, more pleasure in the 
art of transference of thought, than in almost 
anything in life, and I hope you will all be able 
to grasp this thought in its full meaning, ere 
this class closes. 

By transference of thought I mean simply 
this, that when any faculty in the brain becomes 
unduly excited^ or rather when approaching this 
state ; to transfer the thought from that excited 
area, to another part of the head or brain, and 
thereby restore the equilibrium. Normal action 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 14I 

of the entire brain is what we desire ; and what 
we must have, if we would obtain the best 
results. 

Phrenology alone teaches us these powers ; 
in fact it is the only science which attempts to 
fathom this wonderful make-up of ours. But 
knowledge of this science makes it possible for 
you to know thyself ; and not only that, but to 
know all humanity. 

Life and humanity are made up of wond- 
rous beauty, if we only have the power of see- 
ing it ; we can never, except through Phre- 
nology, appreciate the " human form divine" for 
instance, for knowledge gives us the power of 
appreciating every curve and angle. 

Everything in nature has its place and when 
we understand the cause and the benefit of any- 
thing, we can the better appreciate it. So with 
humanity, when we understand the wonderful 
make-up of creation called Man, then and only 
then, can we appreciate him. Man, who is only 
a little lower than the angels we can study and 



142 - LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

study to advantage and strive through Mental 
and Moral philosophy to perfect him, and make 
him a fit associate. We love Phrenology more 
than any other science, because it teaches 
us of man and gives us the power of under- 
standing how to live and how to teach others to 
live. Through this science we can cultivate 
any deficiency and make ourselves grow more 
and more perfect. The mental forces of man 
are many and therefore capable of good and 
evil, it is said we have two distinct natures, the 
good and the bad, whether that be true or false, 
it surely requires both knowledge and effort to 
only show the good ; and in this, Phrenology is 
our guide, for through it, we can restrain, or 
cultivate as the case requires. 

The study of human nature is always inter- 
esting and there are no two organizations alike, 
so you see we have great variety in our work ; 
what is prominent in one, may be deficient in 
another and vice versa. 

Character stud}^ is valuable to all ; we are all

at birth, naturally phrenologists, see the tiny- 
babe in his cradle how he studies each face that 
bends over him and he very soon knows his 
friends from the stranger and if a harsh word 
is spoken, look at the quiver of his mouth and 
the instant tear drop in his eye ; even when he 
does not cry out from real fright. My baby 
used to be particularly sensitive to all harshness 
and I used to delight in teaching him and scold- 
ing him, just to see him jump and primp up his 
niouth to cry, and then I would laugh at him 
and drive his fear away. 

Now this was a dangerous amusement, which 
I in my ignorance was guilty of. We are by 
nature, the most of us, very sensitive to harsh- 
ness and instead of being frightened we should 
be soothed and gradually this extreme sensitive- 
ness would be overcome in early youth. We 
should never weary of studying humanity. 
From the craddle to the grave we must associate 
with men, therefore we should know with whom 
we live. Phrenolog}' teaches us what man is, 



144 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

and how to make the most of him by under- 
standing the brain and its functions. I have 
often had subjects come to me saying, "I want 
my fortune told," this used to anger me, and I 
would retort, I'm no fortune teller ; but of late 
years I simply tell such friends the difference 
between my work and that of the fortune teller, 
for they pretend to tell you the future or what 
is going to happen, while we by measuring your 
capacity tell you how to make things happen. 
By this plan, I almost always gain my subject 
for an examination and generally convert him 
to Phrenology. 

The people of earth have always longed for 
some one to lift the veil of the inpenetrable 
future and let them gaze at the far beyond ; this 
we can do by the aid of Phrenology, for we can 
make our future to a great extent just as we 
wish it to be, not always to be sure, but gener- 
ally speaking, yes. Phrenology is the art of 
reading character, or the science of the mind ; 
as an art, it is the leader of all accomplishments, 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 45 

for it serves us every day through life. 

As a science, it gives us the grandest philos- 
ophy with which we are enabled to develop and 
perfect our beings. 

When Dr. Francis Joseph Gall, our honored 
and beloved discoverer of the mental science 
now known as Phrenology, announced his 
knowledge, he threw a search light, as it were, 
over the entire race, which is still shining and 
growing brighter and brighter each da} 7 ", and is 
destined to illuminate the whole world through 
this intelligence and glorious philosophy. 

The principles of Phrenolog}^ as discovered 
hy Gall, and practiced by his followers down to 
the present time, have done much for us and 
"will do more for the next generation. 

When you leave this College with our Di- 
ploma and find that you can take a head that 
you have never seen before and describe the 
character so minutely and correctly that the 
owner himself is astonished, and tells you that 
you know him and have read him better than 



I46 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

his most intimate friends conld do, then you will 
realize what priceless knowledge you are the 
the possessor of. The power for good which the 
phrenologist holds is greater than you can now 
imagine, or than I can tell you. 

For the true phrenologist is really the only 
friend, for he it is, who understands your nature ; 
he is your physician, mentally and physically, 
and in conclusion I would say to you that you 
are going to enter a profession now in which 
there are more and grander possibilities before 
you than you could find in any other line in all 
the many walks of life and I bid you to-day 
great speed ; may you all study hard and leam 
the innermost secrets of the brain and prove 
an honor to yourselves, to your teachers and to- 
the science which we all love so dearly — Phre- 
nology. — (Applause. )

The Chain of Life. 

^pjjbp'HAT is life ? is it simply an existance ? 
ll^lf All > no ' Tlie Poet ^ as told us ttLat > 

i; We live in deeds, not years, — 
In thoughts, not breaths, 
In feelings, not in figures on a dial ;— 
We should count time by heart-throbs. He most lives 
Who thinks most ; feels the noblest ; acts the best." 

Life is one succession of details and constant 
changing. Therefore it is of the utmost im- 
portance that we know and understand how to 
make the most out of life and its privileges. 
Little things make up life, it may be a grand 
life — it may be an existance— life. 

Environments have much to do with forming 
our character, but we must work to turn all for 
good and we can often do this, if we have the 
knowledge of life and of what life really should 
be. The first link in the chain is a most im- 
portant one and in order to make the very best 
out of life we should be well born, as all the other 
links must depend upon the strength of the be- 



148 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

ginning link, or the first link of life, hence the 
great importance of pure and loving parentage. 

Considering that we are in the first link per- 
fect (which bnt few of us are,) then we can be- 
gin to add on another link with the assurance 
that the first can bear the additional strain. 
Education may make or mar the whole chain of 
life. Correct Education beautifies the outer and 
the inner life. Incorrect Education may deface 
and deform us mentally and physically, thus 
the great importance of learning to think for 
one's self, u Be sure you' re right, then go ahead." 
We must learn how to think, think, think. 
This is the greatest of all lessons and when we 
have learned how to think, then we must act, for 
" We live in deeds, not years." The deeds of 
our lives make a strong link and the metal 
should be of the purest and strongest, for good 
deeds are upbuilding, refining and purifying to 
one's own being, while wrong deeds are debas- 
ing and demoralizing. Our thoughts and ac- 
tions should make strong links for right and 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 49 

progress in the chain of life. We must so learn 

to control the thoughts and actions that we 

produce harmonious results. 

The number of years does not give our life, 

but the number of deeds and thoughts make or 

mar the chain. The one who thinks the most, 

-and feels the noblest and whose acts are the 

best, is the one whose life is the longest and 

this is the one who adds the strong and durable 

• 
links to his chain of life. This chain of life is 

started without our knowledge and often to our 
sorrow, but we can have much to do with form- 
ing the links that follow the earl} T life, if we 
will stud}' and learn lifes mysteries. We must 
learn that to form the link of good deeds we 
must do good deeds. That to form the link of 
pure thoughts we must think pure thoughts, 
for our lives are largely what we think and act. 
If we study and strive to live a pure and noble 
life, thinking pure thoughts, doing noble, gen- 
-erous deeds, ever striving to climb upwards, al- 
wa3^s looking forward and taking the advancing 



150 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

step, then we are forming the link in the chain 
of life of good character. But if we, instead, 
study thieving and the immoral side of life, 
thinking the thoughts of the thief, the low 
and the vulgar, associating and courting the 
friendship of the impure, then we add the 
link of the bad character to our lives. This 
latter we cannot afford to do, for this is not 
life, it is simply an existence. We must live 
for a purpose and that purpose a noble one. 
The true life is lived to develop and to per- 
fect one's self mentally and physically and 
to help others to live and to form links that 
are strong and enduring in their Chain of 
of Life. The true life always thinks of others 
and is ever anxious for the opportunity to 
aid and to benefit others. Let us strive to 
live, so that the chain of our lives made in 
the future, may approximate the perfect. This 
we may do by the aid of Phrenology and I 
heartily reccommend its study to each and 
all, who believe in the upbuilding of humanity.

body, it is utter uselessness to think 
that you can read any one else. For the 
study of self-character is the a b c of Phrenology. 

The Phrenologist, I mean the true Phrenolo-

fession. And he has a perfect right to be, for 
his profession is second to none. 

The Phrenologist must realize aid r^o'.m ze 
the power for good, he holds ovjr himself and 
all humanity. The man nor woman wl o co:s

Phrenology, has no right to the name of Phre-

upon this class tonight what it means to be a 
true Phrenologist. It means first of all to gain 
control of your own organization ! Normal ac- 
tion of every organ of the brain is what is ab- 
solutely needed, and you cannot be the perfect 
Phrenologist until you gain control of every 
faculty of the mind, for example you cannot be 
a moral man and let Amativeness have full sway,, 
this is not Phrenology. The true Phrenologist 
cannot use tobacco, wine, nor any of the many 
stimulants and non-necessities that are within 
our power to use, for this would be a perversion

of one of the organs of the brain, Alimentiveness. 
To preserve health, this is one of the most im- 
portant organs to consider. 

The true phrenological life is the nearest per- 
fection known to earth today and the Phrenolo- 
gist who is true unto himself and to his pro- 
fession, will not fail each day, to strike the keys of 
his own organization, testing their strength and 
power and according to Phrenology strive to 
keep normal action. The brain is a complicated 
key-board and requires our constant attention, 
else we will loose control and then not only 
-ourselves suffer the consequences, but often our 
friends or loved ones are drawn into the net and 
submerged, — and why ? Because normal action 
of the brain was not present, hence you see the 
great importance of holding yourself under ab- 
solute control. 

The students who are leaving us tonight, car- 
rying with them our Diplomas, know well how 
to develop, or to restrain each and every organ 
of the brain and my faith in you tells me, that 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 155 

you will never cease your efforts to develop and 
perfect your own organizations- 

The Phrenologist has a great work to do, the 
harvest is great and the laborers are few indeed. 
There is no profession where recruits are needed 
as badly as in Phrenology, so those of you who 
have decided to accept Phrenology as your life 
work will find plenty of work which is always a 
pleasant duty and then too, you will have the 
privilege of reaping the golden harvest of money 
and renown. I don't mean that as a Phrenolo- 
gist a flood of money will be yours without ef- 
fort. It has been said that all things come to 
him who waits, but we don't find it so in our ex- 
perience and I would have each of you to re- 
member this fact, that "it is not wealth, nor 
rank, nor fate, but get up and get that makes us 
great." 

A lazy man will never accomplish anything in 
Phrenology unless he has a tug boat to pull him 
along, or else someone blows him up with dyna- 
mite every day.

The true Phrenologist works because he loves 
too. There is a fascination in the phrenological 
work that cannot be found in any other profes- 
sion. We love Phrenology and we love to work 
in humanity's cause for it leads up to aspirations 
grand and teaches us to be true to ourselves- 
The Phrenologist's power for good is limit- 
less, for he can daily cultivate and bring unto 
himself added power and thus impart to others 
more and more of the great phrenological truths. 

Humanity is hungering after the truths 
which Phrenology discloses and whenever your 
power to read character correctly becomes known 
the wealth of the people is laid at your feet. 

Confidence must first be won. This is really- 
one of the greatest elements of success to the 
Phrenologist. If you can win instantaneously 
the confidence of your subject, the work is half 
accomplished. His money is yours and best of all 
his attention is yours, he believes that you un- 
derstand your business and that you will tell him 
the absolute facts concerning his organization. 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 57 

And did it ever occur to you that the most in- 
teresting subject in the world to a man is — him- 
self. 

Whenever you prove to a man that you know 
anything about him, he is at once all attention. 

To win and retain the confidence of the people 
you must first be worthy of their confidence. 

The unworthy person in any line is short 
lived before the public. We cannot give out 
what we don't possess, hence the great necessity 
of dealing honestly, squarely and fairly with self 
first and then to others. 

Professional confidence, the true Phrenologist 
inspires confidence, because he never betrays, his 
subjects can divulge to him the secrets of their 
whole lives and ask his advice on the most 
delicate matters and with the phrenological light 
before him and with sympathy and kindness ever 
actwe, he leads his subject out of darkness, in- 
to the light and will receive as his just reward, 
as I have received many and many a time, such 
words of encouragement as these, "Oh } t ou have 



iqo LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 



taught me how to live and what to live for," a 
thousand such words as these will be spoken to 
you for good work. 

I cannot impress upon you the importance of 
your position before the public as a Phrenologist. 
The power which you hold is far greater than 
3701: can now imagine. Your power is great 
both for good and evil, but it is my earnest de- 
sire that no member of this class will so far for- 
get himself, or the dignity of his profession, to 
use his power for aught, but good. Unconsci- 
ously often by honest concientious and scientific 
work we accomplish far more than the greatest 
imagination could picture. I could entertain 
you for hours with facts from my own experience 
as a Phrenologist, but this, although many 
things would be very interesting to you I do not 
deem necessary to give. 'Tis true we profit by 
each others experience, but we profit far more 
through our own. As you go out into the field 
eaeh dav will bring its own experiences and I 
hope that they will all be pleasant ones at first,

For I don't want one of yon to become discourag- 
ed. But you must remember that life is not all 
sunshine and success and while every day may 
be Sunday "by and by" it certainly is not the 
case today. If we wish to climb the latter of 
fame, it will require that we struggle on from 
day to day. 

The Phrenologist enjoys a greater privilege 
here than any one else, for his knowledge gives 
him the power to control to a great extent peo- 
ple and circumstances, where others would fail. 
While knowledge gives us power, we must not 
"become egotistical and forget that others have 
rights which we must respect. We must also 
guard against falling so much in love with self, 
that we imagine that our wish is law, which 
others must bow to in meek submission. The 
Phrenologist must not forget that he is the ser- 
vant of the Public and if he wants the hearts 
and the pocket-books of the dear people opened 
for his benefit, he must respect public sentiment. 
We cannot afford as Phrenologists to ignore pub- 



160 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

lie customs, or to fight public sentiment, creeds 
or dogmas. This is not Phrenology. It is both 
the duty and the privilege of the Phrenologist to- 
live and practice Phrenology and when he does 
this well, he will have no time to deal with side 
issues. We believe in every man for his profes- 
sion and the specialist is the only man of success 
today, so stick to Phrenology friends and develop 
the work and perfect yourselves. 

The Phrenologist must live beyond reproach,, 
not that his whole life must be perfection, but as 
a Phrenologist he is known to understand how 
to restrain a fault or how to cultivate a virtue, 
etc., in other words the Public expect more of 
the Phrenologist than any other person, but 
this, friends, is a compliment to our profession,, 
for it shows that they think we know more,, 
hence they expect more of us. Every act and 
word of the Phrenologist is studied and criticised 
by the dear Public and if we would be loved, 
trusted, honored and patronized let us live the 
life of purity and honesty ; dealing out the 



FKOM MY SCRAP BOOK. l6l 

phrenological truths to the best of our abil- 
ity — always. For almost one hundred years 
the phrenological light has been shining. The 
originator of this phrenological light being 
Dr- Francis Joseph Gall, whom we all honor. 
While to us he may be the brightest star, it was 
not in his power to do the good that we can do 
today for humanity. We have learned much in 
the past hundred years but today we are as 
babes, compared to what we will be in another 
century. 

But let us one and all recognize our talents in 
this work and whether we have one or ten let 
us so cultivate and increase our strength that 
•our power may be felt far and near. We can 
only fill our own place, let us fill that well. 

The true Phrenologist is the true friend of 
humanity, for he understands and appreciates 
the good in man. The true Phrenologist is al- 
ways seeking whom he may benefit and before I 
close I want to tell you that there are true 
Phrenologists in this room to-night. Conscient-

ious, honorable, sympathetic and trustworthy- 
men and women who are willing and anxious to 
benefit humanity. These are the true Phreno- 
logists. 

Before I say good night I want to thank the 
members of this class and other friends for the 
many acts of kindness and tokens of friendship' 
which I have received during my recent illness. 
I am nothing if not appreciative and the tiniest 
gift presented to me by friendship's hand awa- 
kens in me a flood of love and thankfulness. 
The favors I have received from you have been 
many and had I command of ten thousand more 
words than I have, I could not thank you as I 
would wish to do and then too, I am one who* 
feels more than I can express. 

First of all I would thank the members of 
this class and their frieuds who banded together 
in groups and stood around my bed-side night 
after night concentrating their will-power and 
force in willing my recovery. Friends — to me, 
this was the sweetest sight I ever saw, under- 



PROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 63 

derstanding mental science as I do, I realized 
the power of the concentrated thought of your 
little band and while of course we cannot tell, 
it may not be too much to say that you saved 
my life. As I would throw myself into the neg- 
ative in order to receive the full benefit of your 
power the most beautiful thoughts would come 
to me and often when your little band would 
surround me when I was in the most intense 
pain, I would in a few minutes be relieved and 
several times almost slept. I never saw a work 
Jike this before and I am proud that I was the 
recipient of such, favors, but I am prouder still 
to think that it was in the mind of woman that 
this system of healing was conceived. Am I mis- 
taken when I say that Mrs. Compton, minister- 
ing angel that she is, was the originator of the 
thought and the leader of this little band of 
noble workers ? Be that as it may I want to 
thank especially each and ever}' one who com- 
posed this novel but noble band of healers. We 
are coming more and more as a people to ap- 



164 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

predate the power of mind over disease, there- 
fore we can appreciate such work as this today 
as never before. 

There were many other acts of kindness 
shown me, that will forever remain fresh to my 
memory, some of which I will mention. 

To Mr. Andrew Ibach, I would thank for 
several beautiful boquets of rare and fragrant 
flowers. 

To Mrs. Compton for some beautiful rose?, 
presented with far more beautiful sentiments. 
I never receive a floral offering now but that 
my mind goes back to several months ago. 

When I was lying with a raging fever with 
pulse over a hundred- and my friends hardly 
expecting me to rally — the door was gently 
opened and our friend and brother in the science, 
Mr. Gannon, accompanied by his handsome and 
talented son came softly to my bedside, bearing 
in their hands two of the most beautiful pieces 
of -floral design that I have ever seen. 

As I looked at the beautiful flowers and in- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 65 

lialed their rich perfume and realized the friend- 
ship which prompted their gift, there seemed to 
rise before me the star of hope. As I looked 
again, it seemed to grow more and more beauti- 
ful, more beautiful than any tongue could des- 
cribe and out from its beautiful depths came 
the words, "all will yet be well." 

And as trouble and sickness comes to me and 
I loose hope and feel almost desperate, this 
beautiful vision again appears and says, " all will 
yet be well." So to Mr. Gannon and his son I 
would again thank for their offering. 

I am a great lover of the beautiful in nature 
and especially fond of flowers and in sickness 
more than in health my nature seems to call 
for them and I believe the rose especially, car- 
ries with it hope and life. 

To Mrs. Kirby I am indebted for relief from 
pain more than once through her knowledge of 
Mental science. 

Mr. Cowden with his jucy pears and Mr. 
]Lee's delicious grapes I would not forget to 



1 66 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

mention. Air. Gray has been exceedingly kind 
and I have derived doubtless, much benefit 
through his superb magnetic power and genial 
benevolent nature. The latter can be no better 
expressed than by an expression of his own. He 
was standing by my bed one day when I was 
suffering intensely and as I looked up, I said, 
Oh, Mr. Gray, everybody is so kind to me, 
instantly he replied "that is because everyone 
loves you." Of course that is a broad state- 
ment, but nevertheless it was something to my 
aching brain. 

To Miss Sealy I am indebted for the kind 
suggestion of the suspension of the College 
from Thursday till Monday, which proved very 7 
beneficial to me. 

To Mr. Brown I can certainly not say enough, 
for if a friend in need, is one indeed, he has 
certainly proven himself many times. 

Mrs. Compton I would especially thank for 
the portrait of myself, while modesty forbids me 
even in my enthusiasm over it, to say that it is; 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 1 67 

beautiful, vet, I can say the work is good of its 
kind and would advise anyone wishing that line 
of work done to first consult her before placing 
their orders. 

Friends, I might go on and mention other 
members of the class and their many kindnes- 
ses to me, but suffice it to say that I thank you 
one and all, good night. — (Great Applause.) 

At the conclusion of Madame Windsor's speech, 
she was presented by the Class of 1895, with a hand- 
some Gold Medal, beautifully engraved and set with 
Pearls and Diamonds. The Medal was presented in 
her honor and in appreciation of the work she is 
doing for humanity. Madame Windsor responded in 
the following words : 

" Friends, I am overwhelmed with this, an- 
other token of friendship from your hands. 
I would attempt to thank you, but the English, 
language is far too tame, however I would wish 
for those who have contributed to this beautiful 
Medal, that your lives and work may be as 
beautiful, as brilliant and as pure as is this gift 
which you have presented me to-night." — (Ap- 
plause.)

ISSING flABIT.

4t 



^ISSING is a very dangerous habit for ladies 
especially, because if you kiss a gentle- 
man friend of yours for instance, }^ou may not 
have strength enough to resist his father ad- 
vances. 

Kissing between the sexes is really the A, B, 
C, of future actions and experiments. I am not 
a believer in the practice and I do not see how 
any conscientious mind can be who understands 
the physological and mental laws. 

I think this way about the people who advo- 
cate promiscuous sex kissing. Some of them are 
good and conscientious people on other subjects, 
but on this subject they show their soft spot, or 
as the slangist of to-day would put it— here they 
show their "wheels." But it is hardly just to 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK- 1 69 

blame them, for they are like the drunken man 
who thinks it is you who are drunk and not he. 

For the man who believes in promiscuous sex 
kissing has imbibed so much of the rich de- 
licious nectar of the kiss, that he has become 
deliriously kiss drunk and is as incapable of 
advising you on this subject as the man who 
has never had a kiss. I hardly think any of 
vou would consider long the advice of the latter. 

Therefore take the advice of one who knows 
what she is talking about and be careful who you 
kiss, or who you allow to kiss you. The kiss of 
the Child is pleasant, of the Aged, fraternal. 
The Friendship kiss is delightful and often very 
inspiring. The Sexual kiss delicious beyond 
description when correctly practiced. 

There is a great difference between the kiss 
of friendship and the sexual kiss. It is es- 
pecially the sexual kiss which I fight, for that 
is what wrecks the virtue of the world to-day. 
The man who advocates promiscuous sexual 
kissing generally hasen't much virtue to loose ; 



170 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

of course there are exceptions to ever}' general 
rule. There is no stronger advocate of correct 
sexual kissing than myself. But why should 
we debauch what should be a pure pleasure ? I 
do not believe it a safe thing for the young ladv 
to allow the kisses of her affianced, even, for 
man)' are the girls whose virtue has been 
lost by this. One kiss calls for another, still 
another and so on until the young man accom- 
plishes her ruin and then the idea of marriage 
to him is a thing of the past ; of course she 
pleads, but all in vain ; his eyes are open now 
watching for another victim and soon he finds 
her, so the poor girl whose virtue he has taken 
is left alone in her sorrow. 

Girls let me beg you never to allow the first 
kiss and then all will go well till your wedding- 
day, then you can fully enjoy this delightful 
and rapturous pastime. It is to save the virtue 
of our women and our country that I raise my 
warning cry against promiscuous sex kissing. 

Now this would not be necessarv if all were 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. I 7 1 



virtuous, but such is not the case and just as 
long as there are men roaming in our society who 
are looking diligently for every chance to rob 
woman of her virtue — just that long woman 
must be equally anxious to stand firm in her 
womanhood. 

I have given you my greatest reason for op- 
posing promiscuous kissing, but it is unwhole- 
some and often exceedingly dangerous to life, 
as diseases are more readily transmitted through 
the kiss than any other way. Diptheria could 
spread rapidly this way and often does go through 
a family from no other cause. Consumption 
also goes through families often the same way. 
The Bacteria is transmitted from one member 
to the other through the kiss affectionately 
■Sfiven. We see this often the case with the 
husband and wife. 

The Husband takes consumption through 
heredity perhaps ; of course the wife is his sym- 
pathizer and tries to love him back to life and 
through her kisses and caresses, she too sue- 



172 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

cumbs to the dread disease and sometimes even 
dies first. 

There is often great harm done to a child by 
the kisses of its aged grandparents, while the 
kisses of the youth to the old are life giving T 
from the old to the young is life destroying. 

One of the most affecting scenes I ever saw- 
is this, I have a dear young lady friend whose 
mother is very aged and decrepid. I never saw 
such devotion in mother and daughter as exists 
here in all my contact with people. While it is 
sweet to see this devotion we must not be blind 
as to the results. It is simply this, that girl 
through her kisses and carresses is keeping her 
mother supplied with life force, while the mother 
is happy in the youth vigor which she daily im- 
bibes and ignorant of the fact that she is taking 
the very life itself from her daughter, but it 
is clear to the scientific eye that while the 
mother is living the daughter is dying and I 
fear will pass to the beyond first. 

Should I tell her the facts, her devotion is so 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 173 

strong that she would willingly and knowingly 
give her life to her mother, for her self love is 
exceedingly weak. 

You ask what should be done with such cases? 
why, seperate them by all means, for the old 
must die while the young may live, it is not 
necessary to seperate them entirely this would 
be cruel to both, but in justice to my friend she 
should only see her mother occasionally and 
should associate herself with young and vivac- 
ious people and if she had several gentlemen 
friends of this type, their magnetism, if they 
were pure men, would even be more life giving 
to her than the lady friends. I have even tried 
to get her to marry, hoping thus to divert her 
love and thoughts from the mother to the hus- 
band, but she says, Oh, Madame ! I could never 
marry while my mother lives — this is a love 
born of heaven, the mother so near heaven's 
door may appreciate it, but where is the man 
who would? 

The friendship kiss I must not omit, for I 



'174 LECTURES AND CUPPINGS 

love this kiss. I love to receive it and I love 
to bestow it. 

This is the kiss imprinted on the brow or 
cheek, (not necessarily on the lips as some think. ) 
We are impelled to give this kiss through great 
admiration or gratitude. I never speak of this 
friendship kiss but that my mind reverts to that 
famous speech of Bob Ingersol, by which he 
cleared the notorious out-law, Frank James. 
.At the close of this great flow of oratory, Mrs. 
James, in her enthusiasm and deep gratitude, 
rushed forward and threw her arms around Ing- 
ersol' s neck and kissed him. What a scene — to 
m\' mind there never was a purer kiss given 
under heaven than that wife's kiss of gratitude 
"to Ingersol. 

We find it hard, however, sometimes to tell 
the kiss of friendship from the traitors kiss, this 
can only be done by sensing the others nature 
and motives. As I have said before I love the 
friendship kiss, for it has given me some of my 
best inspirations. This kiss is almost exclu- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 175 

sively practiced by women. Men express this 
sentiment when they feel it by words of encour- 
agement— not kisses. But woman can express 
more friendship and gratitude in one kiss than 
she could in an hour's speach. This kiss even 
should not be given promiscuously, for then it 
"becomes the traitor's kiss ; but we should be- 
stow this kiss upon only those who are worthy 
of our truest friendship and to those whom we 
want to encourage. Years ago I did not know 
the value of this kiss from woman to woman, 
liowever I felt its impulses. One evening I 
heard a lady, who to-day is a shining light in 
the lecture field, give her first lecture. I was 
the only person in the house who knew that it 
was her first attempt. We were warm friends 
and were stopping at the same Hotel ; of course, 
after the lecture, she was anxious to know if I 
had been pleased. 

As she stepped from the platform many 
friends pressed forward to congratulate her on 
her lecture, which was certainly meritorious, but 



176 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

she turned from them to me and whispered, 
u ho\v did I do?" Oh, I said, just too nice for 
anything, you deserve a kiss. Like a flash she 
said, "why not kiss me?" it is needless to say 
she got the kiss and a genuine one at that, for I 
was indeed proud of her and her work. We 
can often do a great deal of good by expressing 
our emotions in this way to our sex, for they 
need our encouragement. Of course we often 
feel grateful and proud of men in their work, 
but we should express this sentiment by thanks 
and encouraging words like they would do un- 
der similar circumstances, remembering that 
there is an eternal fitness of things. Kissing 
children, especially infants in the mouth is a 
very dangerous .habit ; in fact, I think this 
habit of parents and friends, robs many and 
many a cradle of its gem. 

Parents, don't kiss your babies in the mouth, 
kiss them anywhere else, everywhere else but 
in the mouth. I have spoken of this before and 
I think I have made myself clear on this 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. I 77 

kissing question, the greatest of all luxuries 
and gives one the greatest of all benefits when 
enjoyed under the correct environments. But 
remember, one and all, that what is sometimes 
u meat for one is death to the other" and so we 
must stud}' the natural laws and try to benefit 
all and not injure an}' one. So be careful friends 
upon whom you bestow your kisses and from 
whom you receive this curtesey. 

Because there are the fewest persons, men or 
women who are sufficiently cleanly to say, 
nothing of health, to allow of promiscuous 
kissing. 

If the teeth are not kept constantly brushed, 
the tongue scraped, the entire mouth washed 
and purified with plenty of water and fluids 
used for this purpose, the alimentary tract kept 
clean of all impurities, the stomach in a per- 
fectly health}- condition, etc. I say, unless the 
above conditions exist, the kiss will invariably 
do you harm, considering of course that you 
are in perfect condition and while you may

benefit your friend by your cleanly and life 
giving kiss, can you afford to expend your vi- 
tality at such, a risk ?

. to HE Temperament of a person is the pe- 



culiar and habitual condition of his con- 
stitution, arising from the combined action of its 
organic forces. 

The Bilious Temperament or what is known 
as the Brunette, has an active liver, which gen- 
erates a great amount of bile, hence the name 
Bilious Temperament. 

This Temperament gives us a remarkable 
Character, it has great enduring power — the 
Brunette is hard to kill with either work or sor- 
row. The Bilious Temperament gives us strong 
motive power, few indeed are the fleshy people 
of the Bilious type, but they are rather motive 
strong and very enduring. Abraham Lincoln

was a splendid type of the Bilious Temperament. 
His hair was strong and course and very black, 
features strong and powerful, high cheek bones, 
w r ell outlined nose, all indicative of a strong 
nature. Opposed to this is the Sanguine Tem- 
perament, or Blood Temperament, or the Blonde 
Character. 

Here we have the light hair and blue eyes. 
This is the InfLamable Temperament, the fickle 
organization, one mind today another tomorrow, 
there is but little concentration of thought and- 
stability in the extreme Blonde Temperament. 

Of course in the more blended character we- 
have also the stability and concentration. 

The Blonde has a fine circulation hence can- 
readily throw off disease, while with the Brun- 
ette the circulation is poor. 

All Temperaments can be devitalized but we 
are speaking simple of the natural Temperament 
when not diseased. 

Temperament is a very valuable study as it 
decides the shape of the head and it is an import-

the success of the person. 

The Motive Temperament boy wants to run

— starve out the vital forces by non-exercise. 

Excessive mentality dreads rough play, while

the more enjoyable. 

If people only understood their children's 
"Temperament then they would understand their 
actions. 

If Phrenology gave us nothing else, but an un- 
derstanding of the Temperaments that alone 
^vould be of inestimable value to the human race- 

The Vital Temperament gives us the lazy or- 
ganization, lack of moving power, but ofcen ac- 
companied with superb talents.

Children are often fed too much and they 
take on the Vital Temperament. 

Children should b^ plump but not too fat.. 
They should take on Vitality sufficient to have 
reserve force enough to pass through puberty 
and be assured of perfect health after puberty 
is established, but too much fat, makes against, 
the mental development. 

Physical exercise is natural to childhood and. 
when the children ask questions they should be 
answered and encouraged to ask more Physi- 
cal exercise develops the motive Temperament- 
Let the children go to see the fire-works or any- 
thing else they will for this seeing develops the 
pereeptives and tends to develop the Mental 
Temperament. • 

Niagara Falls or the Rocky Mountains is sl 
good place to develop motive power, the climbing 
of hills develops the muscles and strengthens 
the organic structure. 

The Brunette is the Positive Temperament or 
organization while the Blonde is the Negative.

We have many Temperaments because the 
Temperaments of the Caucasian race are not the 
Temperaments of other races, each have pecul- 
iarities of their own, which must be described. 

In t!-:e accompanying illustration we show 
you four combinitions : 

First —The Motive Mental — this is where the 
Motive power is in excess of the Mental. 

Second — We have the Mental Motive here — 
the Mental predominates over the Motive. 

Third— We have the Motive Vital— This or- 
ganization is almost blended the Motive is strong 
and the Vital is well developed. 

Fourth — We see the Mental Vital, notice the 
broad expansive Intellect, forehead high and 
wide, indicating strong mentality with good vi- 
tality to support it There are many Temper- 
aments and combinations of Temperaments 
which I might discuss, for every Temperament 
has its virtues and its drawbacks. The well 
balanced Temperament is the best of all — this 
is where all the Temperaments are so thoroughly

blended that neither is in excess of the other. 

President U. S. Grant, was a good type of 
the well balanced organization, hence he showed 
great power and strength, mentalh' and physi- 
cally. The South is conducive to the Lilious 
Temperament while the North produces mostly 
the Blonde Temperament. These are climatic 
influences. 

The Nervous Temperament we should seek to 
avoid for this is a diseased Temperament — there 
is too much of delicacy and irritability here,. 
which if unrestrained often causes serious re- 
sults. We should so live as to develop and 
bring out the temperamental conditions har- 
moniously and thus avoid the extremes.

Preface To Part II. 



The following Delineations of Character made by 
leading lights in the scientific world are thus published 
in order to satisfy our many phrenological friends 
who have not met us personally and w T ho are anxiously 
enquiring as to our general make up. 

You will see that our organization is not of the ex- 
act perfect type, although we are a Phrenologist, for 
Ave have inherited the faults peculiar to our Temper- 
ament. However what we are in reality to-day and 
all that we ever hope to be to the world in the future,. 
we owe to the science we love best of all — Phrenology.

Report of a Phenological Examination by 
Edgar C. Beall, M. D., New York, April 
26, 1893. 

;WOUR head, in circumference is just a little less 
ji: than what we call the full size of a male head. 
However the size of your head gives us much less 
idea of your mental power than a consideration of 
your temperament. Your constitution is exceedingly 
wiry, strong and enduring ; and while you may at no 
time manifest the most robust and vigorous health > 
you will be very tenacious ; you will display a great 
deal of resisting power and will keep up under cir- 
cumstances where those apparently much stronger 
would soon succumb. 

Your temperament would be called the Mental or 
cerebral, but of the so-called Bilious phase which in- 
sures extraordinary intensity of feeling and a degree 
of accuracy, precision, coolness, penetration and crit- 
ical acumen as to the intellectual operations which 
we never find in individuals of the blonde variety. 
In other words, you have a very positive nature ; you 
are exceedingly strong in your likes and dislikes : are 
disposed to go to extremes in almost everything ; find 



190 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

it difficult to compromise or stop half way ; are set 
and firm in your prejudices as a rule and generally 
know where you stand, what you believe, what you 
doubt and what you are going to do. 

The remarks in the foregoing paragraph apply to 
the ground-work of your character and may be mod- 
ified, in view of the great activity of your brain and 
nervous system, which has a tendency to interrupt the 
coolness and steadiness of your psychical life under 
normal conditions. That is to say, under ordinary 
circumstances, you would manifest intensity of feel- 
ing with excellent judgment to guide it. But under 
the irritation of special disappointments, antagon- 
isms or ill health, you would probably become at 
times impatient and loose much of your natural poise. 

Your occiput or back head is well developed in 
certain portions, especially as to the kind of affection 
which extends itself to the young, helpless and de- 
pendent ; you would be an affectionate mother, tender 
and solicitous, ambitious for the welfare, the educa- 
tion, the social position of your children somewhat 
exclusive in your devotion to them, not to say selfish. 
You have a good deal of general sociability, suavity, 
friendliness and politeness which pass for friendship, 
but you do not carry your heart upon your sleeve and 
your real attachments will be given to comparatively 
few ; to those, however, whom you sincerely like, you 
will show a good deal of intense affection and are 
likely to be loyal and true. You would find no satis- 
faction in changing associations rapidly for the mere 
pleasure of variety ; and while you love variety in 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. I91 

your avocations, you are rather disturbed by the 
thought of anything that is not permanent in your 
social relations. 

These remarks apply also in a great measure to 
your manifestations of Conjugal Love; to your in- 
tensity (and it is impossible to describe your character 
without employing that word very often) may be 
attributed a great deal of affection which in some 
people would be traceable to the faculty of love per 
se ; but in a constitution like yours, a little of any- 
thing goes a long way. On the whole, your capacity 
for love is very great. Your type of organization is 
an extreme one, which would render it important, 
not to say necessary for your husband to be rather 
•opposite ; he should be congenial, as regards those 
general aims and habits of life in which you are es- 
pecially interested, but you should work by different 
methods. 

You have a great deal of force, energy, executive- 
ness and ability to accomplish whatever you under- 
take, which result from your temperament primarily, 
although you have also a development of the brain 
which would assist in bringing about this result. Y r ou 
liave much more courage than the average individual 
of either sex, although it is tempered by a good deal 
of consideration of consequences and after you have 
conquered the enemy or a difficulty, you are generally 
willing to avoid the subject. You do not follow up 
an advantage or an opening with the feeling of re- 
venge, as some persons do, although you are exceed- 
ingly slow to yield a position which you have taken 



192 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

or compromise. You prefer to go your own way, not 
likely to listen to proposals for arbitration. That is, 
after you have vanquished, you do not seek to kill. 

You will forgive, but are not likely to forget ; and 
while you cease your hostilities, you are not disposed 
to encourage opportunities for a second offence. You 
depend much more upon determination, resolution, 
firmness and persistent action to accomplish your 
purposes than upon cunning in the strictest sense of 
the term, although you have a species of intelligence 
which many would describe by that term. Your 
natural or first impulse, however, is to be sincere, 
open, frank; you would rather fight your way through, 
a thing than get through by reliance upon deception,, 
at least of a kind involving the performance of a 
tedious role: I mean that you would not be satisfied 
to play a double part for any great length of time ; 
you would grow tired and feel like throwing aside the 
mask and drawing your guns. You would say, u 0\ 
let's quit ; let's throw aside this humbug and give 
'em some hot shot." 

Your sense of property is not strong and you would 
make money to gratify your ambition ; and the very 
fact that your Acquisitiveness is not strong would in- 
sure success under many circumstances where a larger 
endowment of it would make you hesitate and lose 
your chance. 

You have a fair Caution, but your nature is so 
headstrong, and what you desire at all you desire 
with such earnestness, that you will find it hard to 
stop even in the face of danger when you are once 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 193 

fully under way. Still you are disposed to count 
•difficulties and obstacles, especially if they threaten 
your ambition or the happiness of those you love ; in 
matters of finance, you would take some pretty heavy 
risks. 

You love distinction, fame, honor, and you do a 
good deal to get up in the world ; and as your nature 
is so positive, the quality of your ambition will also 
"be pretty high. You would not be satisfied merely 
to excel in those domestic accomplishments and 
trivial arts which women of a more negative dispo- 
sition would find sufficient to fill their cup of happi- 
ness, but would seek a larger sphere in which there 
would be opportunity to deal with people upon a plane 
"which would require elements of will power, self as- 
sertion and superior tact. However, you have not 
much of that quality of dignity or dictatorial spirit 
of the typical Englishman and while you assert 
yourself in a very dicided manner, it is to satisfy 
other faculties than a consciousness of your own im- 
portance and personal value. In other words, you 
will push to the front, because the rear ranks will 
<*ive you little to do ; you do not step to the front 
simply because it is in front. You come up because 
you feel that is the place and the only place where 
you can work. After you are there, people look on 
and probably give you credit for a great deal of self 
esteem. 

You have great determination and perseverance in 
your purposes, and can concentrate when necessary, 
l)u t prefer variety in your methods. 



194 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

As to your moral nature, you have the intelligence 
to see the advantages of right conduct and do not re- 
quire as much Conscientiousness, Reverence or Faith 
to make you a good woman as would be needed, pei- 
haps, in one of a narrower intellectual outlook. You 
are capable of a good deal of sympathy and charity ; 
but it is always tempered by your discrimination as to 
justice; There are times when you will appear selfish 
and cold ; at other times you will seem to have the tend- 
erest heart in the world. You cannot dissolve and 
melt with tender feeling in the presence of undeserv- 
ing guilt and merited adversity, but toward those you 
love, you will be very kind, considerate and charitable.. 
The elements of submission to the eternal verities, 
faith in the mysterious and unknown are not strong. 
The groundwork of your character renders you 
skeptical, suspicious and slow to accept anything that 
is not clearly proven ; and yet from the sensitiveness 
and activity of your brain and nervous system, you 
may be led to investigate with keen interest many 
psychical phenomena which are supposed to be in- 
separable from the realm of religious faith. 

Intellectually your mind is well balanced. You. 
have considerable ability to acquire information and 
express yourself with tolerable ease ; but your best 
powers are in the sphere of what is called intuition ; 
that is to say, a process of reasoning, which from its 
rapidity, is not perceived to be such. You do not 
care for a great number of facts ; you will be able to 
form your conclusions from a comparatively few ; you 
neither acquire nor care for a very extensive indue- 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 195 

tion. You appreciate principles, rules and laws, but 
you have more critical, analytical power than any- 
thing else. Your sense of Human Nature is exceed- 
ingly keen ; you anticipate and understand motives 
almost as if by clairvoyance or occult power. 

As to your work in the world, you have abilities 
for many things beyond the usual vocations followed 
by women ; you would hardly have the patience to 
teach, except under favorable circumstances ; you 
would do better in the dramatic profession or in some 
position that would bring you more directly before 
the public. As to the learned professions, I should 
decidedly prefer medicine. You ought to have power 
in elocution. You would carry an audience by your 
earnestness and a suggestion of knowledge of value 
which your auditors would be glad to learn. 

As an author, your style would reflect the charac- 
teristics already described. You would not write 
without a purpose and your favorite themes would be 
related to the practical, scientific and serious side of 
life rather than the sphere of imagination, poetry or 
fiction. Y r ou would be clear, direct and forcible in ex- 
pression and your sentences would never be weighed 
down by useless or unintelligible words. You would 
write for the sake of ideas and thus you would use 
more appropriate and effective language than if your 
motives were simply to make a display of pompous 
phrases. Altogether, your character is a strong one.

Prof. W. H. Chanex. 

ASTROLOGIST. 

fCCORDING to the data, the sign Pisces which 
Jupiter rules was rising at your birth and there- 
fore Jupiter is your significator or ruling planet. 
Mars is co-significator because Aries is intercepted on 
the ascendant and Mars rules Aries. You have a 
very strong nativity, for a majority of the planets are 
above the horizon and the indication of Jupiter is 
more powerful than any other planet. Therefore, 
however great your failures and disappointments are, 
a reaction will come before your situation becomes 
hopeless, however dark the prospects. 

Saturn in Cancer signifies some disease for the 
lungs and stomach, especially the stomach ; but as 
the configuration is below the horizon the trouble 
may not develop until the later years of life. You 
should not neglect any ailments in these regions, for 
if allowed to develop it will become chronic. Mars 
in Scorpio, denotes some acute trouble in the lower 
portion of the body and as Mars is in the house of 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 197 

<death, when your time finally comes the fatal disease 
ma}' be located here. Uranus in Taurus signifies 
some odd ailment in the region of the neck and 
throat which may be severe for a time, then perfect 
recovery and years elapse before you have another 
attack. On the whole you have an enduring consti- 
tution and with proper care will live to be quite old. 

Mercury is significator of intellect and being in a 
•scientific sign, free from affliction, denotes an intellect 
above average. Uranus also denotes intellect, but of 
an odd kind, such as pertains to the occult and mys- 
terious. Your impressions and presentiments will 
generally prove correct. You possess a fair share of 
this occult knowledge, because Uranus is nearly in 
trine aspect with Mercury. 

In disposition you are somewhat peculiar, because 
your rising sign and ruling planet denotes one who is 
very kind, gentle and forbearing ; but Mars and Aries 
indicate high temper, great energy and enterprise ; 
you will therefore manifest these opposite phases of 
disposition according to your surroundings and treat- 
ment. 

Saturn rules the house of friends, denoting that 
usually elderly people, such as are reserved in man- 
ner, firm and self-willed will be your friends. Mercury 
in the house shows that the more intellectual they 
are, the more reliable they will prove : but Saturn in 
Tiis detriment and retrogade denotes that friends will 
not always prove reliable, nor can you depend upon 
them as they can upon you. 

In moral principle you are more than average

strong, for the Moon is free from affliction and dis- 
posed of by Jnpiter. 

Jnpiter rules the house of business denoting- that in 
whatever business you engage, the larger, the more 
successful it will prove and you should be at the head 
of it, or of a department, because Jupiter denotes a 
leader. Mars, your co-significator, also denotes that, 
you are a leader. 

Jupiter is the significator of wealth and being your 
significator, seems to promise more wealth than most 
persons acquire. Jupiter being in the house of money 
threatens serious reverses at times ; still, Jupiter is 
strong to protect from anything like destitution.

for a moment to the names with which the scientific, 
literary, artistic and professionol worlds ring at the 
present time and the truth of the contention must be 
admitted. Among those who have achieved pre- 
eminent distinction in the scientific world, prominent 
notice is demanded of right by the lady whose name 
ornaments this article. As the acknowledged lead- 
ing lady Phrenologist of the world, Madame Lilla D. 
Windsor merits a worthier pen than mine, to pay her 
tribute. 

Born on a farm in Eastern Texas, on February 15, 
1858, it is remarkable to think that this gifted, beau- 
tiful and accomplished lady, who in her youth was a 
child of nature, knowing of and caring for little else 
than the fruits, the flowers, the birds, the corn, cotton 
and cattle and the natural beauties of the surround- 
ings of her native home, should to-day be one whose 
attainments smack of much burning of the midnight 
oil, much study and investigation and deep thought 
and whose list of honors makes a long paragraph. 
Let me recount some of them. Madame Windsor is 
a Phrenologist, a Master of Science and Doctor of 
Philosophy ; a graduate of the American Institute of 
Phrenology, New York ; a member of the White 
Cross Legion of Honor, District of Columbia : a popu- 
lar and successful lecturer on Phrenology, Beauty, the 
Healing Art, etc., and the Author of the deservedly 
well-known books, " The Maiden, Wife and Mother- 
hood ;" " Lectures and Clippings from My Scrap 
Book ;" " The Way to Heal Yourself, or the Road to 
Health and Happiness ;" '■ Five Great Secrets, " etc. 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 201 

Throughout her life she has been an ardent lover 
of nature — the hills and hollows, the beautiful springs- 
of water, the lovely trees and the singing birds — all 
that nature gave us she loves w<th all her nature and 
it is little wonder, then, that she should, in her adop- 
ted profession, strive to assist in the development of 
nature's dearest plans as connected with cur universal 
motherhood. Her love of the animal world took and 
still retains the form of the possession of many pets.. 
One among these deserves more than passing notice. 
It is a Parrot that she had brought over some years 
ago from Honduras and which, under her careful tu- 
ition, has acquired phenomenal accomplishments. To 
its natural cuteness is superadded the remarkable 
faculty of being able both to sing and speak the Eng- 
lish and Spanish languages, while in respect to giving 
imitations and recitations it is a perfect wonder. 

But even while yet a mere child her love of nature 
was not permitted to dominate her solely. There had 
to be a time to enjoy her natural surroundings and 
other far more arduous undertakings. Thus we find her 
spinning, or helping to spin, the clothes in which her 
father went to do battle for his country in the cause 
of freedom. She was at this time so little that she 
had to turn the wheel spoke by spoke and when the 
band flew off, she had to get up on a chair to replace 
it. With all a loving mother's careful management, 
with the strictest economy and with all the aid the 
daughter could render, the war left the family — 
which consisted only of three, father, mother and 
child — very poor indeed ; and not merely that —

it left them with the husband and father's health 
completely broken down. They remained on the 
farm until 1866, when this was one of the families of 
the first " colony" that went to Mexico and " off for 
Mexico, 1866," can still be seen inscribed upon the 
wall of the old losr cabin that had been their home. 
Naturally, with the buoyancy of youth, the young 
emigrant enjoyed that trip immensely, albeit the 
perils and hardships were many and there was the 
ever present dread of robbers or the marauding of 
hostile Indians. But the journey was safely and suc- 
cessfully made in horse wagons and the little party 
reached its destination in due course. That new home 
was in the Orizaba Valley, though the travelers also 
spent some time in the city of Mexico, Monterrey, 
Del Rio and indeed, visited all of the principal cities 
of that country. It is not difficult to imagine how 
this ardent young spirit reveled in the change of 
scene and life from Texas to Mexico. As a neces- 
sary consequence, here the young girl very quickly 
learned to speak the Spanish language ; her precocity 
in acquiring which tongue was such, that she had not 
been in the country long before she was known as 
and called, "The little Mexican." 

At that time, however, Mexico was not the safest 
place in the world in which to live and one by 0110 
the " Callowmicks" would return to the United States. 
The family with which we are particularly concerned 
had hoped for the restoration to health here of its 
head ; but that was not to be. Instead, he seemed to 
grow worse and in course of time this family returned 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 203 

to their old Texas home and at the tender age of 
twelve, Lilla lost her father and it was then that her 
life and character seemed to be transformed from 
■childish innocence to thoughtful, earnest woman- 
hood. So deeply affected was she by her father's 
death, that under the influence of the dreadful shock 
she even contemplated snicide. Bnt calmer and 
wiser counsels prevailed . and conquering' the weak- 
ness, she then awakened to a fuller realization of her 
position and what she owed besides to her widowed 
mother. 

In reading her character an eminent phrenologist, 
Dr. Beall, rightly expressed the view that the word 
*' ambition" almost fully indicated the whole nature 
of the future Madame Windsor. Even at the age 
of twelve, this element was born within her. She 
then burned with the desire to make a name for her- 
self, bnt before that and first of all, she wanted to 
support her mother. Her original intention was to 
t>e a teacher, bnt she was foiled in that ; then she 
tried dressmaking and later millinery. Through all 
her struggles all the time an insatiable thirst for 
knowledge remained with her and many a tallow-dip 
and pine-wood knot did she burn in the Texas log- 
cabin, in gratifying her longings for improvement 
and from that day to this she has grappled hard with 
fate, inspired by her ever dominant ambition, to gain 
her end. Distictively and representatively a self-made 
woman, never having the advantage of more than a 
few months' schooling, her life has been one long- 
struggle. She has suffered many disappointments 



204 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

and many sorrows, but with hope largely developed 
she has ever persevered, until to-day her efforts are 
rewarded by the occupation of an enviable position 
in the world of science and in the world of letters. 

Madame Windsor is the happy mother of two lovely 
boys, who were also born in Texas. Already they bid 
fair to make their mark in life and in them their 
mother's hope and ambition is centered, her devotion 
affording them every possible advantage. 

Although an interested student of Phrenology for 
many years, it was not until 1887 that Madame 
Windsor thought of adopting that science as her life 
work. Phrenology, like everything else, demands a 
special talent for its successful practice and it was 
not until the year mentioned that she discovered her 
possession of that necessary faculty. The work 
she has accomplished and is still doing, abund- 
antly demonstrates that she was not mistaken in her 
fitness for her chosen profession ; her success has been, 
really remarkable and to-day she stands beyond a 
doubt the leading lady Phrenologist of the world, es- 
pecially if that success is to be gauged from a finan- 
cial standpoint, when it is known that Madame 
Windsor has made as high as $500.,in a single day (and 
even in these dull times a hundred dollars a day is no 
unusual income.) These figures may astonish those 
who know nothing of the possibilities of her work and 
such may regard them as boastful, but these are wel- 
come to investigate the results of her exertions at any 
time. 

Madame Windsor dearly loves her work ; she has 



FROM MY SCRAP BOOK. 205 

spent years in its study and expects to die in its ser- 
vice. It is life to her. She considers that to be able 
to benefit humanity is to possess a great and noble 
power and she revels in its exercise. And that benefit 
is derived from her lectures, from private interviews 
with her and from her various publications, thousands 
can and continually do testify. She has been con- 
stantly in the field since 1887 and has great ambition 
for the future. 

Her sphere of operation has been limited to no one 
State, for she has traveled all over the United States, 
Mexico and Canada and is now contemplating a trip 
to Europe next season, but her permanent home or 
headquarters is at Washington, D. C. Speaking of 
her travels, it is interesting to note that on her return 
from Mexico in 1867, she crossed the Gulf of Mexico 
from Vera Cruz to New Orleans in a sailing vessel 
(steamships then being considered unsafe) and that 
trip occupied eight days. From New Orleans she 
went up the Mississippi to Shreveport by steamboat 
and a few days later was again on the old farm in 
Texas. She was eight years old when she started to 
Mexico and that was her first traveling experience. 
More or less constantly she has been travelling ever 
since, from North to South and from East to West, 
ever studying humanity, ever seeking whom she 
could benefit and always ambitious to learn more and 
more of and for the advancement of civilization. 

In passing, special mention must be made of 
her greatest work, the book entitled "The Maiden, 
Wife and Motherhood," (which brought her one of the 



2o6 LECTURES AND CLIPPINGS 

elegant medals she always wears), a most valuable 
and important contribution to the literature of the 
subject, which has had an immense sale, and which 
fully deserves its world-wide celebrity, because in it 
Madame Windsor has tried to say, and indeed has said 
those things that women need to know the most. 

Reference must also be made to Madame Windsor's 
Scientific Museum in Washington, D. C, wherein 
numerous interesting and curious specimens are col- 
lected together. Here, for instance, will be found re- 
productions of presidents, noted statesmen, murderers, 
idiots, etc., and an inspection cannot but be instruc- 
tive to the visitor. 

In conclusion, it has but to be noted that Madame

41 The Way to Heal Yourself, or 
The Eoad to Health and Happiness," 



The above is the title of one of Madame Windsor's 
Publications which is considered one of her best 
productions. This is not a large book, it is a 32-page 
Pamphlet, same size page as kk The Maiden, Wife and 
Motherhood," but on these few pages are thoughts 



that glitter. Madame Windsor has saved her own 
life several times through this knowledge and at the 
earnest solicitation of friends she has at last published 
her knowledge en this line for the benefit of humanity 
whom she is always ready to serve. The book is al- 
ready having a wide sale and giving universal satis- 
faction. It is cheap in price and valuable in facts. 
It is far better to understand your own powers and 
save yourself than to trust to the skill of another, 
for he may fail, so inform yourself. Knowledge al- 
ways gives power, and you never know when you 
will need this knowledge the most. There is a step 
beyond which if we tread, we shall never return. 
How to avoid taking one step too far on the road of 
•disease is what you will learn in this valuable book. 
Madame Windsor has at different times in testing her 
power stood as it were on the very brink of death, 
one step more and all would be lost, but no, her work 
is not completed on this earth yet, and so she returns 
to fulfil her mission. The contents of this book will 
be new and strange to man}', but the facts when 
tested will prove the merits of the book. W 7 e recom- 
mend it to all whether sick or well, for the knowledge 
is valuable to everyone. Price 500 Address all 
letters and make all Money Orders payable to Madame

WHAT ARE Wt GOOD FOR? 



The Solution Aribrded by Phrenology 



The choice cf a proper vocation in life is one 
of the most momentous problems of existence. 
The majority of men are failures, and nearly all 
are discontented, 
because they are in 
the wrong shop. 
Nature endows ev- 
ery man, who is not 
a congenital idiot, 
with useful talents, 
aEditis a crime to 
allow these talents 
to perish by disuse. 
Phrenology solves 
the problem 1 y de- 
ciding for eve ry 
man the trace, } ro- 
f essicn or avor r t ion 
he should folic w, 
according to t he 
'endowment of his 
brain. It is crimi- 
nal negligence for 
parents t o allov 
their children to 
grow up without 
the advantages 
which a correct 
knowledge of their 
talents invariably supplies. In every neighbor- 
hood there are facilities for acquiring accom- 
plishments which could be 
utilized at a very smalL outlay 
of energy and expense, and 
would be if the parents and 
children knew that their spe- 
cial endowment of brain 1 
called for exercise in these 
particular directions. The 
young man who wishes to rise 
in the world, and to gratify a 
laudable ambition, can make 
no better investment than a 
romol^te phrenological chart, 
in which his business adapta- 
bility is fully analyzed and tie lawyer*

important, the vo-

they are sure

gifts, and thus se- 
cure a certainty .>f

trifling cost of a 
complete examina- 
tion is nothing 
when compared with the oenefits secured. 

Study and compare the laces of the three 
youths who adorn this article- 
Each has a special talent in a 
marked degree, and will reap 
the reward of brilliant suc- 
cess in his corresponding vo- 
cation, but would prove a 
failure in the spheres of the 
others. The adult lawyer and 
minister also bear upon their 
faces the stamp of profession- 
al greatness, achieved by fol- 
lowing professions for which, 
they were specially adapted 
by * nature. Header, avail 
yourself of the opportunity the minister. 
now presented to secure this priceless knowl- 
edge for your own benefit.^ The choice of a pro- 
per vocation made at this time wfll save you 
thousands of dollars of capital., and years of 
wasted time and opportunities.. « Decide now, 
shed the light of science on your character and 
learn your true capacity, talents and the proper 
sphere in which to use them.

People who by PI renology 

Their fortunes wish to know, 
And want to live a happy life, 

Should to Madame Windsor go. 

Your talents she will read, 

And tell what is decreed, 
How to avoid a checkered life, 

And in this world succeed. 

Washington, D. C, January 22, 1896. 
Madame Lilla D. Windsor, M. S., Ph. i> . 

Dear Madame : I feel it a duty, ^s well as a very great privilege, to ex- 
tend to you my sincere thanks for advice and counsel which I received of 
you in September last and acting upon your superior judgment, I find 
that I am greatly benefited, and even more than I have words to express. 
Trie photograph that you read so accurately was that of my consort. You 
could not have read her character more correct had you the living head. 
Believing you to be a Queen among women and the Queen of Phrenolo- 
gists, as well as the acknowledged Lady Phrermloyist of the world, and 
wishing you great success, and that all your publications may have a very 
wide circulation, I am very truly, your friend and well wisher. 

Wm. Gray. 

Blue Mound, III., July 30, 1695. 
Dear Madame Windsor, 

Your kind favor at hand, also chart and photograph returned. Many 
thanks for the promptness in filling out my cturr, also for the kind adxice. 
I am very much pleased wirh the chart and elated to know that I am pos 
sessed with so many talents. Hope to soon order one of your books. '"The 
Maiden, Wife and Motherhood.'" Wishing you an abundance of success, I 
am, yours respectfully, Mks. Alma M. Appleman. 

Washington, D. C, January 29, 1896. 
Madame Windsor: 

It is with great pleasure and much grati'ude that I commend your ex- 
aminations and good advice which is awaiting nh suffering humanity. I 
recall only five months a^o, when in a very low state of health I received 
from you a careful health examination, which, with the aid of your wise 
counsel, and able treatment, I feel like a new man. Very sincerely.

Opinions of the Press. 



"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood, " by Madame Lilla D. Windsor, M. 
S. Ph. D. is a book which recommends itself, and is one of which every one 
should read who desires to become acquainted with the mysteries of life. 
It contains more good sound common sense, than any similar work that 
has come to our notice, well has it been said ; "this book is a revelation to 
all who read it.— Denver. (Colo.,) Hotel Bulletin. 



"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," is well written, all the subjects 
well considered and it contains -thoughts and suggestions which everybody 
should read —The Irrigation Age, San Francisco, Cal. 



'"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood, 1 ' is unquestionably one of the most 
useful books we have ever read. It is plain spoken, sincere and compre- 
hensive, not an idle word can be found in the work. Its lessons to the 
maiden, the wife and mother are invaluable and should be read by every 
woman who regards sacredly her peace, health and happiness. It is finely 
illustrated and abounds in brilliant happy thoughts.— Fort Worth, {Texas,) 
Trade Review. 



"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," contains a vast amount of exceed- 
ingly valuable information in condensed, but simple and easily compre- 
hended form. Its pages plead for an observance of the laws of Nature that 
followed out lead to a noble womanhood, happy wifehood and proud 
motherhood.— Hot Springs, (Ark.,) News. 



"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," is a very entertaining and readable 
volume. The book is lovingly dedicated to all men and women who are 
seeking after knowledge, and those who peruse its pages will doubtless 
learn many things that are new. Madame Windsor is a Phrenologist and 
there is no questioning her knowledge of the subject of which she treats. 
Pueblo, (Colo.) Daily Chieftain. 



"The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," is full of valuable information. 
JPeoples Voice, Gatesville, Texas. 



For women "The Maiden, Wife and Motherhood," contains sound advice 
on matters of importance to women and is written with a delicacy of ex- 
pression and clearness that it can be readily understood and fully ap- 
preciated.— Pueblo Evening Star.
